What if, inside your transaction, an exception is thrown? you wouldn't
now what the transaction already changed before throwing, right?

So, prevayler makes sure the transaction can execute properly (without
throwing an exception) by executing it first on a copy of your object
model, the so called "food taster".

If you can live without consistency and atomicity, then just turn off
the food taster. Which is strongly discouraged.
