Steaks, Wine & Spirituality

According to the Gemara in Sanhedrin, the angels roasted meat for Adam HaRishon in Gan Eden and strained his wine. He had everything, before he had passed a single test. Then he sinned, and the consequences were hard work for bread and a return to dust. What do those two consequences have to do with eating from the Eitz HaDaas? The Ramchal explains why Adam had everything, and what changed. A wealthy man offers to add bedrooms to Rav Chaim Kanievsky's small apartment, and the reply from the Rebbetzin, and then from Rav Chaim, is not what he expected.
