Hi Nancy,
What I found interesting about the article was that because bottled water is
considered 'food' it does not have the same strict rules regarding bacteria
checks etc., that municipal water does. In some cases the bottled water is
contaminated with chemicals and bacteria. Not exactly what you'd expect
when the bottle says glacier pure. So it's more than the fact that some of
the bottled water out there is strictly tap water in a bottle. I don't buy
bottled water as I have no need for it and I didn't know any of this stuff.
But I guess if there is a way to make money off a product you got to expect
something similar. :{
