Meat is a friendly glowing one that can be found in the Chop Shop in Fallout 3.
Background
Meat is one of two glowing one test subjects Doctor Barrows keeps at the ghoul clinic, the other being Ethyl. They are former residents of Underworld,[1] who were exposed to intense amounts of radiation. It caused them to turn feral, then into glowing ones, making them excellent subjects of Barrows' research, who wants to understand the ghoul condition on a scientific level. He works with them whenever he is not tending to sick and injured ghouls of the community.[Non-game 1]

Nurse Graves: "The Glowing Ones? That's Ethyl. The other one is Meat. They used to be residents of Underworld. Doctor Barrows is studying the link between normal Ghouls, Feral Ghouls, and Glowing Ones. His research is truly fascinating."

Non-game
- ↑ Fallout 3 Official Game Guide Game of the Year Edition p.84: "Meat
When he's not operating on Ghouls with a variety of odd ailments, Doctor Barrows spends his time learning the exact medical reasoning for Feral Ghouls 'turning' into Glowing Ones. For this, ex-patients who succumbed to massive amounts of radiation are placed inside an inaccessible containment chamber adjacent to Barrows's Chop Shop surgery. 'Meat' (shown here prior to transformation) is one of these subjects."
