Sinful Cravings vs. Real Needs
Commentators clarify that the Israelites' sin was not simple hunger, but a 'voluptuous lust' (Gill) that rejected God's perfect provision of manna. They craved the worldly comforts of Egypt instead of trusting God's plan. Matthew Henry notes this shows how even an excessive desire for lawful things can become sinful when it is not submitted to God's will.
