“No straws at all are better” makes sense until you remember they are vitally important for a lot of disabled or elderly people with mobility/coordination issues. Some people need straws, or they can’t drink independently, or can’t drink without spilling, and the current normalization and availability of straws means that they can use what is for them an accessibility device without anyone questioning it.

And straws are hardly an issue compared to most other things.

Anyway yeah, agreed that “this supposedly eco friendly thing is actually eco hostile, therefore we shouldn’t try for eco friendly” is a nonsense take.
