Another bottled water article

From the Washington Post
The idea of paying as much for water is not crazy. Water is a vital resource.
The idea of paying that much for water, when another source of water is available is crazy. In theory, there is a benefit that people of bottled water get that they don't receive from tap water.
What ever that benefit is, it has nothing to do with the water itself.
H2O.
two hydrogen atoms connected to one oxygen atom. that is water.
anything else in your bottle of water is an additive. anything else in that bottle, other than H2O is not water.
One line in the article strikes me.
The people in Fiji would love to have the same quality water that's in the US.
Water is too precious to price right. Too important to get wrong, and too valuable to change policy.
