I would need to find out more about the beings offering this food. Where they come from, what their society is like, what their intentions are etc. By "not harm me" will it have any other side effects like render me unconscious so they could do experiments on me and return me "unharmed". Maybe get some of it to a lab first or see how it goes if a Terran predator of similar weight a human consumed this meat.
You are going pretty deep into it nice. I like the idea of wanting to know their societal structure around it.
When I asked the question I was picturing it as a near exact copy of the relationship we currently have with beef, a creature of similar biology we raise for food. (I like eating beef the thought just popped into my head)
So it would be like a dinner party where we had an interstellar pot luck.
Say they were beings from Atlantis or Lemuria, or they left Antarctica before it moved far down South and froze and were essentially the same as us. That would be a lot easier to trust. If they were physiologically different in some obvious ways, well then I'd need deeper digging. Maybe they don't eat like us, maybe they injest pills or liquid that are the perfect concentration of amino acids, proteins, vitamins, minerals and fibers in the perfect ratio, or maybe they altered themselves so that they induct energy right into their cells when they stand in an energy field of some kind. It would all depend on getting to k ow them and getting to know about them.
