Dear Daniel, that's nice, but if it wasn't forced on you then you weren't hungry, cold, and desperate. That's not what is being discussed here. You are mising the whole point.
It a bit insensitive to use food to get people to something they wouldn't do otherwise. It's not about god or religion, it's about being oblivious to how there is an imbalance of power between those who have the food and those who need it.
Great diligence and respect is the responsibility of those who have the power and resources. Some over-enthusiastic and well-meaning people clearly lack that humility, sensitivity, and respect.
