Guest guest Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I used to think the solution to pure drinking water was bottled water. A little research quickly revealed I was wrong. Bottled water may be one of the greatest marketing tricks of all time. Believe it or not, the quality of bottled water is no more pure than the regular water out of your home. Since there is no government regulation on bottled water, the bottled water companies could literally be filling plastic bottles of water in your backyard and then selling those same bottles to you. As a bonus you get charged a premium for it too. In fact, a high-level authority from the FDA (The Federal Drug Administration) made this comment: "Companies that market bottled water as being safer than tap water are defrauding the American public." Needless to say, that's a strong statement. Furthermore, if you have environmental concerns, you should review this statement from Eric Olsen of the Natural Resources Defense Council: "It [the purchase of bottled water] causes millions of plastic bottles to be manufactured, transported and then disposed of in U.S. landfills, it's killing our planet, and for no good reason..."
