The likelihood that life on Earth will be compatible with the digestive processes of an independently evolved life form are exceedingly small. They probably wouldn't look at us like potential food in the same way that we try to eat just about everything, so I don't think we have to worry about becoming livestock.
And if they're capable of interstellar transport, they will have absolutely no need for our resources as they'll already have full mastery of energy/matter at their disposal.
No, if alien life finds us, they're primarily going to evaluate us as potential threats. Quite like how we treat common pests. Do we have the potential to threaten their convenience? If so, they may eliminate us. If not, the worst we have to fear is probably getting wrapped up in some interstellar pet market...
