I’d rather not eat anything sapient. Crabs, chicken, and beef? Fine, but I’m not eating anything smarter than a 5-year-old human. No octopi or corvids for me.
Personally I just have a list of animals that I have enough respect for to never consider eating them. If I’m convinced enough, I’ll add new animals to the list.
dog/wolf 🐺
hourse 🐴
whale/dolphin 🐋
hominidae 🦍
It’s not very hard because I wasn’t planning on eating any of these guys in the first place, but I can see myself giving up beef as my respect for cows grows.

Hopefully you don’t eat pigs then. They are one of the most intelligent animals.
I eat beef… But when you meet cows they are basically gigantic dogs…
Sometimes I go though phases where I don’t want any meat… But eventually my brain pushes those feelings back…
That said fuck factory farming, I really wish we had a better system
How do you judge that? There are very many species of animals and there is variation within each species.

So you’re okay with eating toddlers, gotcha 👍
Sure, if they never grew up. But they do, so I won’t.
They don’t if you eat them first …
Did you mean sentient? :)
No, I meant sapient. Sentient just means “reacts to outside stimuli.” Plants are sentient. Its a really useless word.
Oh wow. Didnt know about that!
In most respects, I’d rank a five-year-old human mentally above a raven or octopus.
