He may have done the former, but he very definitely did not do the latter. But Adam did not do either. Adam loved his own selfish desires more than he loved his wife. Adam waited to see if his wife would drop dead before risking his own life. And, when she didn't drop dead, he ate the fruit himself.
People still do the same thing today.
We sometimes look on God's laws as a cage to keep us from enjoyment. In reality, God's laws are a fortress to protect us from sin and despair. When God created people and animals they did NOT eat flesh. In the future God will renew the earth. The sin of Adam and Eve meant that their spirits were immediately separated from God because of their sin.
