If there really was an "Eve" in this world, and her tasting the forbidden fruit was a taboo... then is the current situation also playing out a kind of taboo?

I’m wondering whether I should try the various foods in front of me—things I’ve only ever seen in e-books or old-world film clips.

In the past, what I ate the most were filling staples like easily grown potatoes and nuts, along with artificially manufactured composite protein-based meat substitutes, supplemented daily with bland vitamins and supplements.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaSftXrqYVO
After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwj0DoJ9Hp
To put it bluntly, these were foods suited for humans living like cattle.

The wealthy would never lecture you about sustainability.

Just look at where those eco-friendly slogans and propaganda usually appear—public bus stops, town squares, open markets, public restrooms. These aren’t places the rich frequent.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcYhPg3fV3
Even more ironic is how many charity fundraisers themed around environmental protection are just gatherings of the upper class indulging in lavish feasts, wasting the planet’s resources together.

Is this place I’m in now also some kind of high society?

Here, fruits of every color—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet—are laid out.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHF5rY6PCdK
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.

Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMDMcI7vXEk
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgmfER30zX
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUBE2g0u3K
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhE2aExTAz2
The texture is so strange!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9DOINN7axa
Because it’s so delicious!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVDyRpnF1e
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs1K0BJ4PHK
One thing leads to another.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH7MzkUkA8q
Once you start, you can’t stop.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdpvlMfGQ3
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Gz8rluVEF
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd9nAMEtkKI
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
215Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmniNT491Wk
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.

I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
