The Hatred of Bottled Water Leads to Loss of Rights

Posted by Lorren on September 30, 2009

I keep hearing a lot lately about how baaad bottled water is. About how tap water is just as healthy, bottled water isn’t as regulated, etc. Well, a town in Australia, Bundanoon, has decided to get rid of all bottled water in it’s city, replacing it with refillable water bottles.

Well, I don’t know about the town of Bundanoon, but I drink bottled water because I don’t like the flavor of our tap water. Maybe they have good tasting water. I did spend five weeks in Australia a while back, but I don’t remember drinking any water back then. While they might be happy with their tap water, I certainly am not.

To be fair, I buy my bottled water from machines in the grocery store. I have four 3-gallon bottles that we take on a regular basis to have refilled. When we go out, we usually use recycled bottles that I bought flavored water in. I recycle any bottles (including soda bottles) that I use. So I’m not really filling up the landfills. Not with plastic from bottled water bottles, at least.

Australia is not the United States, of course, but I did have a chance to spend some time there, and the country is a lot like the U.S. Aside from their affiliation with the crown and their affinity for Vegemite, I felt quite at home when I was there doing an exchange with their Navy. If a town there is willing to ban bottled water, the United States might be next.

Obama’s adviser John Holdren had at one point suggested that they put sterilants in our drinking water. They already put fluoride, which is a poison, in the drinking water in many cities, in the name of “dental health”. Could this demonization of bottled water have anything to do with the plan to adulterate our drinking water further? And leave us with no other options? I don’t have any proof that they do, but I wouldn’t put it past them.
