Paper Straws Bad for Environment and Your Health
A favorite liberal cause is to signal virtue by forcing us to use inferior paper straws in the name of saving the allegedly imperiled planet. This should surprise no one:
A new study found that a vast majority of so-called “eco-friendly” paper straws contain more toxic “forever chemicals” than plastic straws.
Ninety percent of the paper straws progressives have been imposing contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
PFAS are commonly called “forever chemicals” because they do not degrade easily in the environment and barely break down in human bodies. …
Studies have shown that exposure to certain levels of PFAS may lead to decreased fertility, developmental issues in children, increased risk of some cancers, reduced ability of the body’s immune system, and interference with hormones.
If moonbats want to force you to do something, that implies they do not expect you to do it voluntarily, which in turn implies you would be wise not to do it.
PJW has a good laugh:
Where did liberals get the idea to declare jihad against plastic straws? Literally from a 9-year-old, who invented the absurd but popular statistic that Americans use 500 million plastic straws per day.
