Bravo. I think your contract idea is at the center (or at least very near to the center) of the matter and that it can even be tested historically. Think about this: humans have always eaten in groups. From our earliest days, we needed each other's skills (hunting, gathering, preparing, etc.) to survive as a species. So, from the beginning there was a contract between "family units". Obviously this has evolved and our contract over food has taken on more nuances of love, health and conviviality, but the basic need is still somewhere in there, too.
