Straws, the facts they don't want you to know...

With their assorted colors and bendable necks, how can one not find straws an atractive product. They advertise that they will make drinking that much easier, but is that really what they're doing?

Fact is, straws are ruining America.

For one, they're making us weak. No longer do we have to pull a glass or bottle to our mouthes. Saving us from lifting and tilting the cup another 3 inches is just creating a generation of weak, helpless consumers. Consumers, that once they become addicted to the straws simple marketing techniques, will become hopelessly dependant on them.

The real truth is straws are not needed. They are just a middleman between your mouth and your drink. Yet each year the straw manufacturers are making millions. Millions of dollars from a product that doesn't even need to exist. Beverage drinkers must not fall prey to the pro-straw agenda that is currently in power in our supermarkets and fastfood destinations. So please, next time you order that Happy Meal, say no to straws, and yes to America...
