I’d appreciate if you would read my parenthetical qualifications before making misleading comments about my “reasoning”.
I disapprove of coercion in general, but it seems clear that people in general experience sex as a much more significant experience than eating, to the extent that rape can make for life-threatening emotional trauma. Given these (possibly local) facts of human nature, we would clearly not agree to a social contract that provided no protection from rape.
I’m not the first to point this out, but by that reasoning, rape is no worse than forcing someone to eat broccoli.

What about forcing 3^^^3 people to eat broccoli?
