I've seen this view of the fall being a allegory
of the transition to agriculture.  I don't think so though.

From God's viewpoint food just isn't that important.
There have been occasional commandments related
to food, such as the Old Testament prohibition
on pigs, or the Mormon prohibition of alcohol, but
in general we're all going to die some day, and from
the viewpoint of someone who has already died
and been ressrected, death is not such a big deal.
Charity is the big deal.
