Not only that, they have the highest ratio of brain-to-body-mass of any invertebrate.

Yes, so maybe think twice before eating one.

I find it interesting how people justify (or not) whether to eat another animal.

Can you explain?

I like to see where they are farmed before I decide... and having seen much of that in the US I've landed on "maybe some bugs are ok to eat."

They're too delicious to consider how smart they are.

I cannot judge too harshly, since I still eat many kinds of animal. However, I never ate octopus growing up, and I learned of their intelligence before I tried it more than a few times. It was easier to "never start" than to quit. And besides, octopus is not that great and if you insist on eating seafood I find pretty much any other item to have more enjoyable texture.
