Nettie: I didn't think you would be okay with food flavored to taste like you.
Sam: It is all artificial and I'd rather humans have a cheap substitute for sqid than to go after the real thing.
Sam: Also, this food will be served long after I'm gone. If the money is put into a trust fund, there should be a substantial amount there when humans decide to formally make contact with my species.
Sam: And that changes first contact from "Hello, primitive species." to "Hello, primitive species with a surprisingly large bank account. How can we help you?"
