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.

After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAYHT68WytOO
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.

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.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAbB6tLidLry
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAKW4lcMHaMU
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAdWh09ikRS6
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAVV4FHX0Xd3
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAVoPlZZN1dj
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
100Please respect copyright.PENANABQLmmNw1at
The texture is so strange!
100Please respect copyright.PENANAJ74xBZyLhz
Because it’s so delicious!
100Please respect copyright.PENANAP27GI1OG63
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
100Please respect copyright.PENANAOm5r5VTMJa
One thing leads to another.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAGi4JXJZ1Nj
Once you start, you can’t stop.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAA1wtvS486S
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAZUX2XFYbip
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
100Please respect copyright.PENANAwXgxtbQidw
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
100Please respect copyright.PENANA29SF4ZKP53
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—
