As I read it. Adam and Eve ran straight for the forbidden tree, ignoring all the others, including the tree of life. But in their defense, they didn't know what life, or death, meant.

By man I mean mankind, both Adam and Eve. Neither could claim unfairness (even though they both tried to point the finger at someone else).
Between verse 7 and 13 (when Adam and then Eve were created), enough stuff happened between God and Adam that we should be hard pressed to call Adam like a little kid. God entrusts him with responsibilities and tasks and interacts with him repeatedly. Even a kid understands "don't eat that".
