Bottled Water

When
I think of bottled water I think of hot tennis players gulping it
down between matches. There certainly is a stigma about bottled
water. Sometimes I think that one of the things around it is, rich
people drink it. We see all of these rich famous people on television
drinking it. Bottled water certainly has become popular. There is
no doubting that. I go to the store and I see more brands than I
can keep track of. I'll admit that I have drank a few bottles of
this stuff in my day. Mainly I get it if I am out and not near home
to get a drink of water. If I am out walking or exercising and don't
have a water source near by.
Is bottled water a rip off?
The short answer is yes. There is nothing great about it. The only
thing that is great about it is how it has been marketed. They tell
us it is the best thing that we can get. It is something we all should
drink. You have to keep in mind that these companies are in the business
of making money. Their goal is to sell you bottled water. Even if
you don't need it.
Is bottled water better for you than tap water? No, it certainly isn't.
In fact, most bottled water is just tap water. It is filtered and
purified so it doesn't have the taste that the water from your tap
has. Anything that will get you to drink more water is great. Though,
you must realize that it is nothing more than a waste of money. You
aren't getting something that your body will jump for joy when it
gets.
You have to watch what you buy though. Some bottled water has things
added to it. Sometimes they will add sugar or other flavorings to
it. If it doesn't taste like pure water, there is something added
to it. Sometimes the water will come from a spring or a mountain river.
Is this any better for you? Not really. There might be some minerals
in it that tap water won't have. But for the most part it is just
the same, but more expensive. You like the taste
of bottled water but you don't like the taste of your tap water.
What do you do?
For starters, I would suggest that you don't run to the store to get
more bottled water. There are many products that you are use to filter
your tap water. One of my favorites is the pitcher with the filter
in it. I'm sure you have seen these on television before. When you
pour the water, it goes through a filter.
These tend to be less expensive and easy to use. It doesn't take much
brain power to be able to fill a pitcher with water. Check your local
shop, I'm sure that you will find one there. There are also filters
that you can put right over your faucet. These tend to be the best
thing to use. They are easy to use and easy to replace the filters.
You can get these at any Wal Mart or store like that.
There is always the water filtering system. You know, the ones with
the pellets and all that garbage. Personally, I think these are a
pain in the ass. I don't know why people get these instead of the
smaller faucet units. I know that some people have to use
these because of the condition of their water. Sometimes the water
is too hard and you need to soften it.
If you don't like the taste of your water, try filling up the empty
bottles that you have from the bottled water with tap water. Stick
them in the ice box and get them nice and cold. You will notice that
when cold, the water has a different flavor. You might find this to
be drinkable. I know your wallet will thank you.
The problem I see with the bottled water is, it is too expensive.
They are charging you an arm and a leg for something you can get next
to free. Why should you pay for it? Well, you shouldn't. I don't know
why people don't feel guilty for buying bottled water. It is one step
up from going to a whore.
You should stop drinking the bottled water and see how much money
you save just for one month. I find it crazy that there are people
around the world dying of starvation and disease and we pay a dollar
or more for a bottle of water. That seems so crazy to me.
