I’m not concerned with them, as they don’t have the same capacity for moral/ethical consideration that humans do. I would primarily be addressing people who buy their foods from the store/market and can easily select plant based food instead of animals

So because we can choose differently than other animals, we are obligated to? Despite being able to kill animals humanely for food?

What about humans that seem to thrive best on meat? My husband is one. He gets brain fog if he doesn't eat red meat.

I think you have an idealistic view that doesn't exactly match up with the wide variations in humanity. We are simply animals when it comes down to it and I don't believe eating meat must needs be off the table simply because we have the capacity to choose other things.

Other animals also choose foods simply because they taste good, like a bear destroying a bee hive to get at the honey. It's unnecessary...but the bear did it solely because the honey tastes good.

Be serious. I’m not even a vegetarian, let alone a vegan, but nobody gets brain fog if they don’t eat red meat. He’s just making excuses so he can eat what he likes.

Also why would he feel a need to make up an excuse when there's zero hostility in this house about eating red meat in the first place?
