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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIuQLs1Od1
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.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHi3zKAwivP
They’re real, whole fruits, not synthetic juices.

Cakes and desserts are piled up like small, colorful mountains, not vacuum-sealed ration bars.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7LCafx2XI
All kinds of meats are served steaming hot, fragrant and enticing.

And then there’s seafood—some of which I’ve never even seen before.

Have some of these already gone extinct?

Summoning my courage, I slowly chew a piece of cooked meat.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbQphRVEvCH
The texture is so strange!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ90ZbvkPnOg
Because it’s so delicious!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj29omPcVUk
This is the first time in my life I’ve tasted something this good!
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFT9aQUFp42
One thing leads to another.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjz98OFmIWF
Once you start, you can’t stop.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGkyGUfQHCG
As I keep eating, I lose track of what I’m even tasting anymore.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrdXgRBq0I3
There’s just too much to choose from!

No wonder so many people here have such extreme body types—either obese or painfully thin.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf5R36IsT0l
The obese ones are like demons, greedily shoving food into their mouths.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1e8v0P9mwU
The thin ones wear expressions of disgust, pushing their utensils around the piles of food without any appetite left.
87Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm3GKjjBIoX
I keep eating... until suddenly, a wave of saltiness surges from my stomach up my throat—
