Something non-sentient. I'd guess fish, or maybe lab-grown hamburgers, or hell why not unicorn farts.
It doesn't matter. The point is that they're not eating or attacking other sentients. Those who tell you they're more dangerous than the sheep are lying. The real predators are the ones who stoke your fears, exploit your prejudice, and use it to justify their own power.
It does matter tho. If you just say don't think about it, I probably won't. But this movie doesn't answer that question. How would you feel if someone ate lab made human meat? Who's to say the fish aren't sentient too? Or unicorns for that matter? The entire ecosystem irl depends upon these animals feeding upon each other. If the first question that pops in your mind when you're introduced to a civilized animal society isn't answered, that's not a fully developed allegory.
The answer could probably just be ice creams and cakes but answer it goddammit
