Drink Me

When I was a kid playing outside, and I got thirsty,I ran over to the water hose and got a drink ofwater. If I was inside and needed a drink I would actually go to the faucet and get water out of it to drink. If I was at school, we had these things called water fountains. Water is the key to life, good health and beauty. That was then, and this is now. Have we really ruined our planet so much that we cannot even safely drink the water out of the tap? Has the last fifteen years gone so bad that we have polluted the water that we drink to a level that we must drink water that was been purified and bottle? We have to pay for water now. The essential building block of life that flows freely from our faucets is no longer safe for us to drink. When did we make the transition to drinking bottled water? It’s strange that it didn’t take longer to catch on. Overnight, it seemed was all it took for the entire world to start drinking only bottled water. How did that happen? It’s not anything other than water. Only this water doesn’t have any of the minerals and fluorides in it. Just plain old drinking water. It worked though. I have several cases of water in my garage right now. If I am walking around town and I get thirsty, the chances are pretty good that I will go into the nearest store and buy a bottle of water. We have been conned by convenience. It just seems easier to have a bottle of water because you can just grab it and go. The fact is that we are getting lazier, every passing year. What’s next?
