McDonald's, the company responsible for providing Americans with thousands of pounds of salt, sugar, and fat each year, recently tried to improve its products for a healthier, happier planet. But no, they weren't worried about what their Big Macs were made of, rather they took an interest in their plastic straws.

But, there are a couple of problems with the paper straws. 1) They turn to mush if you don't drink your beverage fast enough.
