Obviously this question is only for people who eat beef regularly.

But I just was wondering, what IQ/ability would make you swear off beef? If they could speak like an 8 y.o, would that be enough to cut off beef? If they got an IQ of 80, would that do it?

They're already smart enough :) but up close they're a burpy gassy mess, feels like a sentient bioreactor who is really fussy about what delicious grasses their friends found on the other side of the hill.

I raised some pigs a few years ago and I kept waiting for that time when I'd go out to their pen and look into their eyes and swear off meat forever.

It never happened. They were fucking delicious and I'm glad they're dead. Pigs are fleshy bulldozers wrapped around a garbage disposal.
