TAP OR BOTTLED WATER, IRONY

Bottled Water

Water pollution has been one of the most dangerous problems in our
world, we have been presented to the solution from many companies like
PEPSICO and COCA-COLA. From many years these companies have been
working for our health, worrying about the things we ingest and the
chemicals that may hurt our bodies. Those reasons are just perfect
enough for us to pay a great amount of money, I mean who wants to
drink dirt in a glass of water, or even cancer causing chemicals?, at
least I know I don't. This thoughts were constantly in my mind, as in
many other people, that was one of the reasons I never drunk a glass
of water from my tap, until now.
I discovered, thanks to adbusters.org, that bottled water was not
regulated enough as tap water, that even many companies, like the ones
I mentioned before, were filling their bottles from the supply water;
that means they fill the bottle with water I can get from my own
house, and they sell it to us as if they'd got it from the Everest,
the mountains, etc.
That's pure fiction, all these products that supposedly were made for
my benefit, are actually deceiving all of us, making us believe that
we are free from this bacterias and chemicals, when actually they sell
them in fine well made plastic bottles.

"Tap water is safer, it contains chlorination which kills bacteria; it
is also controlled with a test for water pathogens that can cause
intestinal problems, bottled water companies don't do this. Drinking
tap water not only supports mental and physical health, but is easy on
the planet. People who buy bottled water are doing harm to the
environment and acting out of ignorance."

This page also mentions that 75% of people who made a taste test for
water, liked tap water more than bottled water.

This makes me feel really stupid, and it is an irony that these
companies have enormous profits with a product that cheats their
customers, and it confirms that people believe everything they're
told.

I got this info. from www.tappening.com ; and there is also a video
from Penn and Teller that talks about the bullshit of this companies.
