I'd also like to point out that humans have been known to eat other humans for survival, even outside war.
Autonomy does not mean that humans do not make decisions on what the robot does, it only means it has some degree of problem solving it can do itself without human intervention. There is always a chain of command, even if the lower rank is mechanical, it still takes orders from a higher ranked human.
Besides that, I would have to get some data on this, but I would not be surprised that pound for pound there is more energy to be gained from plantlike material then from animal material since animals tend to get their energy secondhand from vegetation or third hand from other animals that eat vegetation. Efficiency is also a major factor in this.
