Genesis 3:2-4, 6 KJV
[2] And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: [3] but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die. [4] And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
[6] And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

There is the fruit that satisfied their hunger while preserving their spiritual position and there is the fruit that didn't do anything different in terms of hunger, however it killed their spiritual position.
Life is in God, outside Him is death. The moment we begin to entertain strange voices we start to deviate from His commands. Voices are seeds, we should be mindful of what gets planted in our hearts because when they grow in us, they alter our form and we become drawn to its kind. She listened to the serpent long enough to see the beauty in the forbidden tree.
Other trees fed without loss, this one outwardly fed but internally killed. Hunger is temporary but our spirit is eternal so we should be careful to avoid satisfying the "temporary" at the expense of the "eternal".
