Even the Rabbincal commentators modernly and anciently reveal the same as I showed you from the plain English.
Are you going to argue with what they said also, historically, orthodoxically?
Abarbanel on Torah, Genesis 3:22
"... This lesser piece of knowledge should be sent by God so that he does not send his hand and also take from the tree of life and eat and live forever, because since he ate what was forbidden to him, his punishment will be that what is permitted to him will be withheld from him, a measure for a measure. It is also possible to interpret this verse in the second way, and it is ..."

Saadia Gaon on Genesis 3:22:2
"... ואם ישאל אדם אם העונש על החטא שחטא אדם הוא מה שמנע ממנו את עץ החיים שאכילתו היתה מביאה לו ברכה, הרי אלמלי אכל תחילה מעץ החיים, שהיה מותר לו קודם שאכל מעץ הדעת, כמו שאמר לו אלוהים: מכל עץ הגן אכול תאכל וגו', הרי לא היה העונש (שהוטל עליו) מתקיים? נשיבהו לאמור: הכתוב לא אמר שיש לעץ החיים הכח להגן על האדם מפני יד אלוהים, ואי אפשר לאמר כזאת בשום אופן, אלא דרכו של עץ החיים לחסן את האדם נגד הדברים המזיקים לו, ומשמרד באלוהים הוא יכול ליטול ממנו את הכח שסיפק לו עץ החיים, ולא יהיה (הכח הזה) יותר חזק מן הגופים והשרשים המבטלים אותו. ..."
"... And if a person asks if the punishment for the sin that Adam committed is what prevented him from eating the tree of life that would have brought him a blessing, then Adam first ate from the tree of life, which was allowed to him before he ate from the tree of knowledge, as God told him: of every tree of the garden you may eat, etc. Wasn't the punishment (imposed on him) carried out? Our response to the saying: The scripture did not say that the tree of life has the power to protect man from the hand of God, and it is impossible to say such in any way, but the way of the tree of life is to immunize man against the things that harm him, and if he rebels against God, he can take away from him the power that the tree of life provided him, And (this power) will not be stronger than the bodies and roots that nullify it. ..." - https://www.sefaria.org/Genesis.3.22?lang=bi&with=Commentary&lang2=en

If you find your game has a little bit of fur on it, just wipe it off or rinse before it goes into the freezer or the pot. Say grace and thank the Lord for it before each meal and you're set. Just don't eat McDonald's every lunch or "Just Like Meat" and expect God to change the molecular structure to healthy food after prayer. Maybe I'm just of little faith. 😁

Oh? 
Well, first comes the natural, then the Spiritual...
Scripture says Adam became a living soul when God breathed into him the breath of life.
Why do people think any needs to eat of the Tree of Life to have natural life?
God sustains all but all are not eating the Bread of Life.
One must be born again to attain to life ever after.
So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being;” the last Adam a life-giving spirit. The spiritual, however, was not
first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.As was
the earthly man, so also are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
1 Corinthians 15:45-48

Gaon means "genius" as recognized by Rabbinical commentators, a superior scholar in their mind - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaon_(Hebrew)

That same, faulty, logic, then applies to all the other trees.
Apparently, you mean to say the texts teach that Adam and Eve ate from no tree, ever, only that they could, until they ate from the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
Additonally, the trees were for food which was a daily requirement.
Read the texts more carefully.

Yay, my clumsy explanation made sense to you
I designed a Genesis panel
Genesis 2:17
I do realize no apple is mentioned LOL
She was originally holding what looked like a green tomato
