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?

Well, some people believe that pigs are as smart as toddlers. So a cow would, at a minimum, have to be smarter than a pig.

Kind of an interesting thought process. It seems like the assumption is "I'm doing it, so it has to be fine".

The problem with thinking that way is people have flaws, and if you think like that you'll just take it as a given whatever you're doing is already correct and never fix any personal issues.
