[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not put the stuff that comes out a tap in my body. Anything less than a commercial grade filtration system is not adequate if you have legacy lead in the pipes. People with small kids should be extra extra careful as even small amounts of lead exposure can cause long-term problems. To me buying bottled is a no brainer - why take the risk with what you are putting in your body.[/quote]

+1  Not thrilled with the plastic, but in terms of health it's the lesser of two evils imo.[/quote]
The bottling company puts tap water in the bottle. You know that right? 
You're paying for someone else to put water in a disposable water bottle for you. [/quote]

That is not correct. Not every bottling company does this. If you are drinking a mass market brand like Dasani or Aquifina, absolutely you are getting municipal water. If you are paying up for something like perrier or fiji, that is natural source water passed through a filtration system. [/quote]

We aren't talking about Perrier and you know it. How many tourists from Iowa do you see carrying around a bottle of Perrier? None. They have Kirkland brand or Aquafina. But you're right. Not every bottling company does it ,but most of the water people are carting around in cases behind their third row is tap. They all buy the hype and think it's triple washed and reverse osmosed when it is the same stuff I with which I flush my toilets.
