Nor Any Drop To Drink 0

One of the biggest scams in the United States is bottled water. I don’t mean the big bottles in your office water cooler.

I mean the little bottles in your grocery bag.

In a country with the safest tap water in the world (unless Republicans get their way), corporations have convinced persons to buy water in plastic bottles because, well, it’s in plastic bottles with pretty pictures on the labels.

Indeed, many times, that water is simple tap water, put in plastic bottles, loaded on a train, then a truck, taken to a store, and sold to some bozo who thinks it’s somehow safer than his own damn tap water because it’s, well, in a plastic bottle.

In other words, you are drinking from what is little more than a store-bought disposable canteen (don’t forget the “disposable” part–more “disposables” means a stronger recycling industry!) with bonus extra packaging and transportation costs.

Have you ever wondered where the water in that store-bought disposable canteen comes from?

It comes from somebody else’s well.
