Rav שלמה קלוגר commented on the מאמר חז״ל that המן מן התורה מנין by noting that one who learns תורה can become a המן הרשע because knowing that something is forbidden makes him want it that much more. Of the many trees in גן עדן, it was דוקה the fruit of the tree from which אדם was forbidden to eat that he couldn’t resist eating. המן העץ אשר צויתיך לבלתי אכול אכלת.
