I imagine "Meat" to be a very human concept, strictly related to food, and to our nature as carnivores.
I can´t picture non carbon-based lifeforms talking about humans as "meat".
The whole concept of "meat" would be completely, well, alien to them.

- Kurtz79 12y agoThat´s the point, we have to assume that "meat" is the English word that in their culture would be the best translation for the concept of "Biological, carbon-based lifeform".
- rbanffy 12y agoThey mention they know some other lifeforms "made of meat" where the brain is made of something different, so, they may be familiar with the concept of meat while considering intelligent meat an extremely odd idea.
