What fallacy is this?

What kind of fallacy is this?

Person 1 claims that paper straws are better for the environment as opposed to plastic ones.
Person 2 claims like the 6 plastic solo cups or the styrofoam to-go box is okay... but we are “going green” with paper straws. It’s a joke

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.

Not a fallacy at all. Just b/c you can't solve the whole problem doesn't mean you shouldn't solve part of it.

He's basically attacking his "morality" instead of his argument. A variation of Ad Fidentia
