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?

Do you eat beef regularly? If so, then you would stop, and if you've already stopped you were precluded from this question so really shouldn't have answered.

I do currently, but I was vegetarian for over a decade and vegan for part of that. I never buy beef and only eat it because I work in a restaurant and eat for free.

But the intelligence isn't really at issue, the ecological impact is why I don't buy beef. That and the taste: it's a C-grade meat at best, way below pork and most poultry, especially given the higher price point.
