Other silverware disposables are less common, so they don’t fall under as much scrutiny. Straws are at every coffee/shake place, and every restaurant. It’s mostly that they’re visible. Normal plastic product packaging and soda/water bottles are many many times more destructive to the environment than disposable food plastics. So is it misguided ire? Probably. Is it gonna kill us that CA is limiting straws? No
