The newly cooked food is fresh but when exposed to air for some time the food gets spoiled. If I can remember it correctly there are some germs or bacteria that are added in the food and this is the reason the food is no longer fresh but spoiled.
Man's whole being (body, soul, and spirit) was corrupted because of their sin of disobedience which was fully illustrated by eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil which signifies death or Satan. Man's act of disobedience manifested upon eating the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of good and evil. Again, this is fully illustrated in the Epistles of James --
Quote:
James 1:13-15
13 When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.

Should man has eaten the fruit from the Tree of Life that would be a glorious story! Before man's fall, the uncreated life of God which is signified by the Tree of Life was outside of man. Likewise, before man's fall, "death" or "Satan" which is signified by the Tree of Knowledge was outside of man. However, after the fall of man, "death" has affected the human being. His body was transmuted into flesh; his soul was transmuted into self; and his spirit was deadened.
