Sweet vs Bitter

So, if the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of Good and Evil was "delicious to the taste and very desirable," then the tree of life's fruit is necessarily bitter...

The Tree of life fruit is bitter without the knowledge, experience, memories of trials and children and successes and joys that necessarily come with life! With those aspects of life, though, the taste of the bitter fruit will be delicious and joyful to eat!

Fruit of knowledge of good and evil is delicious to the taste like milk is to a newborn but good from the tree of life is like a gourmet meal... hardly bitter, but to a baby, it would be overwhelming and not be something you’d try again—in fact, a baby would spit it out!
