The anti straw campaign was proof that both sides engage in science denialism.

- gosub100 3y agoClaiming the anti-straw is unscientific doesn't require that I supply a scientific argument to support using one. Obviously there is demand for them otherwise capitalist fast food chains would have eliminated them long ago to cut costs. I don't think it's hard to see why they are useful.
