We all know Gwyneth has some pretty hardcore dietary habits, and she’s recently added another item to the “do not eat” list.

During a Slack chat this week with her Goop colleagues, the actress shared that she will not eat octopus because of their highly developed brains. In a series of screenshots on the Goop Instagram account, which have since been deleted, Gwyneth replied to the suggestion of ordering the barbecue octopus with this:

“They have more neurons in their brains than we do. I had to stop eating them because I was so freaked out by it. They can escape from sea world and sh*t by unscrewing drains and going out to sea. #tangent.”

The 44-year-old feels that the octopus is “too smart to be food,” unlike the squid she will still eat because, “Squid is the dumb cousin, apparently.”

LOL! Wonder if she’s gotten the memo that pigs are as smart as dogs?
