So, less intelligent than broccoli but more than a child?

My bad, the children are driving me bonkers today.

I suppose it is a bit hypocritical since I am a meat eater but I have been refraining from octopi on my plate.

And it didn’t start off for a noble purpose. I really never understood why people like to eat octopus. To me, it is more or less flavorless and the texture isn’t something that makes up for it.

It’s kind of a “just before you can, doesn’t mean you should” thing.

But as I learned more about them critters, I have gone from: eh, it’s there on the plate, so I’ll eat it to just not.

Like I said, having eaten a cheeseburger for dinner last night, it’s inconsistent but we all have lines to draw.

With regards to lobster: not that I eat the stuff all that often but I have taken to putting it in the freezer, then pithing it or quickly killing it before putting it in the steamer.
