People point to their wrist because that is where people wore wrist watches. Many people wear wrist watches, but many do not since cell phones have taken over the time-keeping function. It would not be surprising that some folks would not understand where the gesture originated.

How is meat different from clocks?

If I understand this question correctly, you're asking how meat is different from a time-telling device. There are many differences. Meat is an animal product, while a clock is manufactured from materials that most likely were not animals at any point. Meat can be eaten, while a clock can't be eaten. A clock can tell time but meat can't. Meat has a smell but clocks generally don't.
