Thanks, StG.
It did mean death, yes, but because it was forbidden, not because of what it inherently was. It was described at least twice as being "good for food". The fruit itself (or its nature, its element, its essence) is not the issue. I would still say, "Yet for our original parents, disobeying God did mean death."
