I think this story is tacky and doesn't really make sense. Do they already know what meat is? And if so, why do they act surprised when they find that lifeforms are "made" of it? Why even do they have an opinion on "meat"?

I find it good for a chuckle perhaps but there's nothing profound in here.

This does what the best speculative fiction does, attempts to stretch and expand your understanding of the real world by presenting a provocative fictional reality.

The author is trying to get you to speculate on the kind of intelligence that would say this about humans.
