Default Lettuce and water

A US woman on the CBC this morning pointed out that bottled water is 96%
water and 4% plastic. Lettuce is 96% water and 4% cellulose etc.
Therefore, not only are square miles of good agricultural land being
wasted but also all that fuel used to transport "water" across the
country in refrigerated containers.
