What can we do to stop aliens from eating us?
How about swearing off from eating meat?

Hardly, silly Earthling! We don't want to eat skinny, sickly looking veg*ns
when we arrive at your planet (soon). We're craving some nice, juicy,
overfed, fast-food indulging, burger-wolfing fat-butt humans after our long
intergalactic trip! You know, something we can really sink our alien fangs
into.....
How likely is it that aliens would be hungry? If they were smart enough
to get here don't you think they would be smart enough to take a packed
lunch?
There seems to be a common bit of vegetarian propaganda that goes
something like “if you eat animals how can you expect intelligent aliens
not to eat you?”
Well well, those vegetarian Earthlings are pretty smart aren't they, despite
their spindliness. Maybe their (obviously) oversized brains would be
deliciously satisfying, though...

Why assume that aliens would want to eat anything from the top of the
food chain? Do we go and eat eagles and lions? If they were really
famished I'm sure a couple of herds of wildebeest in between a couple of
bakeries would go down a treat.
