Here is my personal story of the irony of bottled water........

I live in Illinois. It seems that the attraction many bottles water brands key in on is that they are from somewhere else, that is supposed to be cleaner, more pure, or at least "different" from where the consumer is. Different MUST be better, right?

Well, I took a trip several years ago to the back woods of Manitoba. A place that seemed incredibly clean, pure, and unpolluted to me. We fished and enjoyed the wild for over a week. The water was so clean we drank it out of the river, and the running water was actually from a hose with a sand filter at the end, no other treatment. One day we drove to the nearest outpost and I happened to see some bottled water. I looked closer, and it was from Illinois!!!!

Here the water is from Canada, or France, or some place with glaciers. There, I saw water from Illinois.
