Yes. Have you had milkshakes? You should try 'em, they're good.
So people are buying their daily caffeinated milkshake from Starbucks, and we wonder why there's an obesity crisis in America.

Then take a job where you live?
It doesn’t work like that. Where you live and where jobs are is not always the same place. Just like people working for FAANG (for example) commute one hour each way because where they live there are no jobs that they can take. Your rationale is that for example people living in NJ should not work in the city…

I drink a milkshake occasionally, non-caffeinated (just plain old vanilla), from a local place, I'm not obese and I'm not from America. Why are you setting up a straw man and getting upset about it?
But aside from the pun, we're talking about Starbucks. That is supposed to be a coffee/espresso business. You should be able to drink those without a straw. The fact that espresso milkshakes are so overwhelmingly popular that people require straws from Starbucks in America really isn't a straw man argument, it is entirely relevant. If people weren't buying milkshakes from an espresso stand, they wouldn't need straws. I certainly don't need a straw for any variety of normal espresso. The fact that daily caffeinated milkshakes are normalized in America is very likely linked with our obesity crisis.
They also require plastic see-through containers so that people can visually see the layers on their milkshake.
We'd be doing better if that didn't exit or was considered much more niche rather than entirely mainstream.
