Eating Styles: Bottled Water Edition! Sam February 11, 2013 Eating Styles 7 Comments It’s Monday, which means it’s time for another Eating Styles poll. This week we’re tackling a question that’s not only food and drink related, but has environmental and ethical connotations as well. This week we want to know, do you drink bottled water? Some people view bottled water as simply a convenient way to get access to water, especially on vacation. Some people think it’s too expensive or tastes weird. Still others see bottled water as a huge waste of resources and damaging to the environment. What’s your stance? Vote for the option you agree with below and explain in the comments.

I am a tap water first guy. If the tap water is terrible our I’m on the road without access to tap water I drink bottled water without much of a thought. I do have preferred brands and can taste the difference I’m many spring waters. Reply 3horseshoes February 11th, 2013 no, for all three reasons. Reply Smokin' February 11th, 2013 The plastic litters our roadsides, the water tastes weird on some brands, and it seems a frivolous waste of money. Drink tap water and donate that extra money to the poor. Reply Thom February 11th, 2013 Yes, but not often. It’s always good to have factory sealed bottles around because when you need it, the ones you make up from home will have gotten funky. Reply Geeeeena. February 11th, 2013 DON’T WASTE PLASTIC! SAVE THE PENGUINS! Reply Teddy Izzo February 11th, 2013 I am on similar lines to Mark. For me, it depends on the brand. It’s not that I prefer a brand. It’s where it’s coming from. It’s a convenience thing but I don’t want to give them reason to use more plastic to make bottles. If I can do my part in not using that resource, I will. I do appreciate the bottles that are using less plastic but it’s still plastic that doesn’t need to be used. Reply Joy February 12th, 2013 We drink flavored bottled water instead of pop.
