In the world there are some similar story. I'll talk you about one of them.
In Japan, there are story which don't eat "YOMI"'s foods. It is called "YOMOTSU-HE-GUI", means eat foods which are cooked at underworld. If eat it, the one will die. And we can see similar in Greek myths; Persephone was wanted back to ground, but she ate Hades's pomegranate, she couldn't get back completely. It is seen in Fairy Tail, too. It says if people who strayed into fairy's world want to get back one's home, he or she must not eat there's foods.
Why eating foods of another world cause to belong to that world? Because food is three major desire? I don't know why, but I think it is very interesting.

Could you explain about food representing three desires. This may be an important point, but I don't know exactly what you are talking about.
I couldn't understand very well the relation about World and Food... Can we consider the apple, about Adam and Eve??

I mean appetite, sleep desire, sexual desire. It is sayed everyone have it.

I don't think it. I mean, why people who ate foods of anotherworld-such as hell or world of fairly-be belong to anotherworld and left their own community.
Perhaps the very fact that food is associated with desire suggests the reason why in myth and fairy tales, eaters of 'other-worldly' food (which could translate as trying to understand 'other worlds')would remain in part in the other world. If such a thing is said, it might deter the overly curious person from trying to find out too much. In other words, to some, knowledge is danger.
