About three years ago in Germany....the media and political elements hyped-up that plastic straws were evil and needed to be outlawed. So if you do visit a German shop today.....you can buy either metal/re-useable straws or paper straws (usually your only choice when at a pub/bar).
I noticed this week....that some science folks had analyzed paper straws, and come to new opinion...that they contained some form of 'evil' toxic 'forever' chemicals.
No one is saying much yet, but I would imagine within 30 days.....the environmental folks in Germany will push a new agenda to dump paper-straws.
In the end, I suspect we will be told to just quit on straws, period. Yes, go back to the stone-age (anything prior to 3,000 BC). If you remember the original necessity of straws....this was back in the era when the Sumerians used to brew beer, and the 'pots' were too large for mortal men to hold and sip beer....so straws were invented.
This just begs the question...are we always jumping from one 'fire' into another 'fire' without much thinking over consequences?
