We have to beware translation here, and consider the vagaries of our own language. "Meat" used to mean simply "food." When animal tissue was meant the word used was "flesh." We still refer to nut meats, and repeat old formulae like "meat and drink," "one man's meat is another man's poison," etc. Here the meaning is simply "food."
