Why you should rethink having bottled water

I've been drinking water from the tap since ever and will never understand the reasons that made plastic bottled water a luxury, a necessity, and the illusion of it's safety and healthful.

Propaganda. We didn't learn anything from history. "A lie repeated..." surely you know Gobble's strategy. 

You should research what you're buying in case you drink bottled water however here are some links in case you're too busy:
