I think we can listen to the voice of the people on this one, as they're surprisingly adept at adopting good metaphors. The word "Slop" itself tells us a lot. It conjures images like animal feed, or gross stews full of God-knows-what. Some unappealing gruel.
Food that's not food; food mashed up and made into a paste. "Pink slime" instead of beef.
(From the McDonald's 'pink slime' era)
It all points to something that doesn't nourish you, even if it's slapped together to look and sound like real food.
p.s. I do think slop is permissible in memes; they have always been low effort slop to begin with.
