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.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAmsR8fiSSjk
After all, these were the cheapest and touted as the most environmentally friendly, low-carbon foods.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAwEW8vufCwH
To put it bluntly, these were foods suited for humans living like cattle.

The wealthy would never lecture you about sustainability.
104Please respect copyright.PENANATbqLc7Av13
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.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAeKVDhAVtQm
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAjH4Usk0qWg
Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAwEle0jpnsR
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAhXFk18Sumr
And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAL53cn5IJx0
Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAMh4HbTwdf1
The texture is so strange!
104Please respect copyright.PENANAyTVFJFkop9
Because it’s so delicious!
104Please respect copyright.PENANACCDfSLoBtg
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
104Please respect copyright.PENANAw4rd9GkGA0
One thing leads to another.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAaKr64tKTwG
Once you start, you can’t stop.
104Please respect copyright.PENANA3QDSfilKsh
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAsSwXXv5G0O
There’s just too much to choose from!
104Please respect copyright.PENANAjY6rfTDqp2
No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAg2H51YvtOx
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAzUFlZg83Pp
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
104Please respect copyright.PENANAhKsmnzrwdv
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
