Nancy, I love the bunny pic!
Well, we live in an area with terrible water, the smell of chlorine is so strong that I'd really rather drink from a swimming pool than our tap. We do recycle tho, so I like to tell myself it's ok. I'm probably a little paranoid, but I just don't trust the standards that are supposed to keep our drinking water safe. Why does the gubment have any reason to be anymore stringent about our drinking water than they do about our food supply? I saw this news clip on tv the other day about how so many people are drinking bottles that (gasp!) we are now dangerously deficient in the fluoride that we must have at all costs to survive. They recommend finding ways to "get your fluoride" if you must drink bottled water. This to me smacks of the whole sugar, msg, processed carbs, statin drugs, pick your poison-- is safe. I wouldn't drink pond water even if I ran it thru a filter first. That said, I don't really know where my bottled water came from--and it could be strait out of a tap somewhere in south dakota--or what so called safety standards the bottlers supposedly adhere to, but somehow it makes me feel like it's healthier to drink.
