Edible straws: Fancy eating pet food?

Edible drinking straws are made from food or leftovers from food production like as apple peels, which are also used as a component of pet food. This is not only less appetising, but also a waste of food. Especially since not everyone wants to eat the straw, meaning it's thrown away anyway. The production effort is high, the enjoyment rather low.

Hinzu kommt: Um ein schnelles Aufweichen solcher Trinkhalme in Getränken zu verhindern und diese auch einigermaßen geschmacksneutral zu halten, benötigt man für die Verarbeitung und die Herstellung ein Vielfaches des Energieaufwands, der für die Produktion von Einweg-Plastikstrohhalmen anfällt. Sie haben deshalb eine schlechtere Öko-Bilanz als herkömmliche Einweg-Trinkhalme und belasten unseren Planeten umso mehr. Außerdem sind essbare Halme nicht geschmacksneutral und die zwingend notwendige dickwandige Verarbeitung macht das Trinken schwer und schränkt die Funktionalität ein.
