I'm not exactly sure of your point, but I'm guessing that you believe the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was from God.
So, at least for now, I'll proceed on that basis. i think the answer is in the verse you quoted: the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil, definitely wasn't good for food since God warned them emphatically not to eat from it or to even touch it or they would die. The tree(s) God made had to be both at the same time: good for food AND pleasant to the sight. The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil definitely didn't meet the criteria, so it couldn't have been from God.
I think the above verse only informs that both trees were in the midst of the garden- symbolically demonstrating they are the centerpieces of two mutually exclusive, completely incompatible gospels: one from God, one from Satan.
If I've misunderstood your point, please let me know.
Thanks
