Yeah, but Jesus did say "Man cannot live by beer alone"...
Oh wait, He said "bread", bread, not beer lol.
According to the sages, man was initially vegetarian, this was true for Adam and his descendants according to the orthodox sources.

OK!
First of all... it was the tree of knowledge (of good and evil). Lot's of people forget that. I't only when you have the concept of good and evil that sin can exist. It's rather existentially simple.
This is the the original sin, to allow judgement of good or evil.
