What fallacy is this: a solution is presented, suggesting that a problem exists?

Question

tamar	What fallacy is this: a solution is presented, suggesting that a problem exists? I'm trying to figure out what logical fallacy is invoked when a solution is introduced, which immediately implying that a problem must exist. Like how instant rice suggests some level of technical difficulty to rice boiling. Or pre-made pie crust suggests that pie crust is hard. Thank you.

Eat Meat... Or Don't.

Roughly 95% of Americans don’t appear to have an ethical problem with animals being killed for food, yet all of us would have a serious problem with humans being killed for food. What does an animal lack that a human has that justifies killing the animal for food but not the human?

As you start to list properties that the animal lacks to justify eating them, you begin to realize that some humans also lack those properties, yet we don’t eat those humans. Is this logical proof that killing and eating animals for food is immoral? Don’t put away your steak knife just yet.

In Eat Meat… Or Don’t, we examine the moral arguments for and against eating meat with both philosophical and scientific rigor. This book is not about pushing some ideological agenda; it’s ultimately a book about critical thinking.
