Hi. John 4
31 Meanwhile his disciples urged him, “Rabbi, eat something.”
32 But he said to them, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.”
33 Then his disciples said to each other, “Could someone have brought him food?”
34 “My food,” said Jesus, “is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

New Heavens and New Earth:
Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

In heaven, the water is 'pure':
Fruits are borne upon trees, which drink up the 'pure' water, and thus bare 'pure' fruit:
There is no genetic degradation in Heaven, as it is perfect, being that there is no sin there, as it was in the beginning in Genesis (Genesis 2:1, "finished', 'perfected', 'brought to perfect completion'). In the sanctuary God told the Israelites to make the Golden Candlestick of 'pure' gold, and the candlestick is a 7 branch tree (6 branches & 1 central), which bears its fruit on it with flowers and knops. One can also consider the pomegranates upon the Hem of the High Priest, who is to represent Jesus the Tree, and upon the pure tree, is the pure fruit. One may also consider the pure trees the lined the walls of the sanctuary also, as representative of Heaven. God's work is 'pure', and can only accept a 'pure' offering and in tithe.
Kind was to bring forth after their kind. Yet due to sin, the fall of man, the curses (plural) upon this earth, and man's manipulation, and the devil's manipulation (GMO, gainsayers modified orders), they have lost a lot of purity (as it was in Genesis 4-6 and so also too even now).
There are other ways to show this also, but this should suffice for those interested in the subject that they may go and look for themselves.

Read Genesis again. It says God "planted" a Garden:
Gen 2:8 And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
It doesn't say God created the plants of the Garden there. They already existed. They were trans"planted" from God's own original garden of Eden in Heaven (Ezekiel 28:13) to earth for mankind. Also, just before the flood came, God took His garden that He planted on earth back up.

So we will have bodies that don't need food to survive yet bodies that can eat food nevertheless.
Perfect taste buds eating perfect food and no need to eat.
What remains but to eat for pure enjoyment.
Jesus ate for the good of His disciples.
I wonder if there will be good to accomplish by eating food in eternity.

After all, if you were cut out of an olive tree that is wild by nature, and contrary to nature were grafted into a cultivated olive tree, how much more readily will these, the natural branches, be grafted into their own olive tree!
(Romans 11:24)
isn't the 'cultivated' tree one that's been selectively hybridized in order to increase certain qualities?

Not true. If you do not eat from the tree of life, you will have no life in you - physically (just as Adam was turned away from the tree in the beginning so that he would die, and not live forever as a sinner).
There are natural trees for the natural body/flesh, even glorified, and there are trees for the spirit, the mind/heart, even glorified:
Rev_2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
There are natural trees for the natural body/flesh, even glorified, and there are trees for the spirit, the mind/heart, even glorified:
Joh_6:53 Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
