How smart would cows have to become for you to stop eating beef? (lemmy.world)

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?

It's a good question. I don't know. There are many reasons why I like meat. And there are many reasons why it's problematic.

I think this is a potentially applicable philosophy. It won't solve the "problems" but at least will make it a more consistent experience for everyone involved (except the animal perhaps)
