"For meat"? 
The original word in both verses is "le'ochla", from the word "ochel", meaning "food" or "eating". So that the verse is saying these things are "for food" or "for eating."
The biblical word for "meat" or "flesh" is "bassar". This can first be seen in Genesis 2:23(turn the page  ), when Adam commented on the creation of Eve:
And man said, "This time, it is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh ("bassar mi'bsarri"). This one shall be called ishah (woman) because this one was taken from ish (man)."
This usage is consistant throughout the Torah.

Uh class back in...this is why Jews are where Jews are today...you strain at the knat and swallow the camel....you attempt to hold to every letter of the law and in turn ensalve everyone as you are ensalved to it....Faith is what makes everything on this earth pure and fit for good use...if you want to eat pot...smoke pot, snort pot, or whatever. Please do not try to bind me by the same chains you are bound by Avon Lady.
This earth and every last thing on it was a gift for our use please do not try to attach conditions because there was only ONE...do not eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil....smoke me if you got em.
But please continue in your own intrepretations of the law of life as you see fit.
Class re-dismissed...
