What Does Fruit Symbolise?

What does it represent to man other than a sugary and delicious food deserving of our insatiable attention?

It represents the beginning of man as a creature capable of producing great thought. The beginning of intellectual drives instead of animalistic ones.

At the beginning of dawn, Adam and Eve were animalistic in their nature–naked, ignorant, and consuming food to survive in the way creatures have done for so long. The most primitive life man has lived.

But, after consuming the forbidden fruit from the “Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil,” located in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve began to experience life for what it truly is. A place, a world with the potential and capacity for more, for experience, and for _______ knowledge.
