    NOT TRUE. I can't drink my tap water, because the City approved to put flouride in the water!! Do you know what flouride does!! It causes cancer, and poisons your body slowly, Europe has banned flouride. They are doing it to control population. The govt. is evil and controling! Don't believe me? Do your research. Also, theres no need for flouride these days in our water. We have top of the line dental care. This isnt the early 1900's.....flouride was never meant to truley help our teeth, it's all a lie!

    At Legoland, CA, Bottled water costs 2.75 I know this because i'm an employee. Every now and then a customer complains about the price, but the fact that they still buy the bottle instead of going to a water fountain amuses me greatly.

    My tap water is not free, less expensive but not free since it costs money for water and sewer costs. But your right, paying for a bottle of water is something I've never done,and I don't pay for tanning beds, I use the sun. FREE. Face it, the world is nuts. They also pay thousands for MUTT dogs cause somebody called them designer which in turn leads to more breeding and more dogs put to death. I don't understand people anymore which is why I would just as soon spend time with my dogs. They make more sense.

    This is an extremely biased article that only addresses the bad. Bottled water can be a very good thing, and worth the money. The unnecessary concerns about PET are really just a lot of hype with little fact behind it. www.fijiwater.com www.fijigreen.com

    What about all the stryrofoam cups that you get with coffee from Starbucks, McDonalds and all the other fast food places. That is much worse and according to statistics there are 86% more waste in them then in plastic bottle.
