Hi jerreye,
I think maybe you are trying to look at this in a physical sense.
This is more than the physical act,
of desiring food to eat, unless we are a glutton (Proverbs 23:21).
It is spiritually discerned.
1Co 2:13 And we impart this in words not taught
by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. (ESV)
Yes, she was lusting for the fruit,
the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John2:16),
all of these were already in her heart,
but then she acted upon her desires.
Jer 17:9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?
James 1:15 Then when lust has conceived, it brings forth sin. And sin,
when it is fully formed, brings forth death.
I don't think Eve ate of the fruit because she was hunger, she had plenty to eat,
and God told her not to eat it.
But it became an idol of the heart,
because it was, 'a tree to be desired to make one wise'.
But God knew that her carnal mind would give in to the desires of the flesh,
He was the one who made her weak to the pulls of the flesh in the first place.
Mat 26:41 Watch and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Hope this gives you some food for thought
mercy, peace, and love
Kat
