I understand that Nestle wants to sue a local gov in FL for running a campaign claiming that their tap water is as safe as bottled water. This finding will throw a monkey wrench to that effort.
I always consider bottled water an ultimate scam - selling milk to the cow, all marketing hype zero substance. I use tap water whenever possible (except in tropical countries, for otheriwse I would get sick). What I find perplexing, however, is that how easy it is for the industry shysters to bamboozle large numbers of otherwise intelligent people into paying a high premium on a commonplace substance. What is next, bottled air? Wojtek
--------------------------------------------------------------- "When a candidate for public office faces the voters he does not face men of sense; he faces a mob of men whose chief distinguishing mark is the fact that they are quite incapable of weighing ideas, or even of comprehending any save the most elemental — men whose whole thinking is done in terms of emotion, and whose dominant emotion is dread of what they cannot understand. So confronted, the candidate must either bark with the pack or be lost. [...] All the odds are on the man who is, intrinsically, the most devious and mediocre — the man who can most adeptly disperse the notion that his mind is a virtual vacuum. The Presidency tends, year by year, to go to such men." - HL Mencken ----------------------------------------------------------------
