Fiji Water marketing

For me, the height of arrogance is the slick marketing of Fiji Water where the company takes water from an impoverished developing country, make it sound glamourous, and then export it half way around the world to America. I saw a news report not long ago that showed how the local natives (not the service workers made to look glamorous at the resorts) are wanting for decent water, but the company controls much of the water for export. It is absurd business practices such as this where the excesses of the rich nations are bought on the backs of the developing world that fosters hatred and tensions between nations. No wonder third world nations hate the West!

Fiji Water is excellent tasting. Don't knock it until you try it. I buy and drink Fiji Water because I am sick and tired of the hard-metal taste that we have here in Alpine.

Drinking Utah

Water's taste is apparently based on distance traveled. Utahns buy bottled water from France, and the French pay $$ for bottled water from Utah.

I miss the days when the best water was what you drank out of a hose in your backyard.

Mmmmmm

Water that has been sitting in the hot sun leaching chemicals out of a polyvinyl chloride garden hose. It don't get any better than that.

Personal Injury Attorney's lack of concern for the natives producing his water isn't surprising considering his livelihood probably consists of financially crushing those who have the misfortune of having someone slip on their porch.

not a man-made problem

They are now finding that fish in the U.S. are loaded with pharmaceuticals: blood pressure, bi-polar and anti-depressant medicines.

And I am sure we will get to hear from the far-righters declaring that this is not a man-made problem.

LOL!
