water, water everywhere
I read an article this week that was about the economy, people cutting back, etc. One of the things that people are cutting out of their budget is bottled water. Americans spend $4 billion each year on bottled water right now. That is 4,000,000,000 dollars, folks! So, my question is, are people really going to be drinking their nasty tap water? Eww! NO!
My favorite bottled water at work is Zephyrhills; it is spring water from right here in Florida. As we drive to Destin every so often, we pass a bottling plant or something. When I am at home, we have a filter system on our tap water, and it actually tastes good (I am drinking some now). Which brings up another question: do people really drink enough water?
They say that the average person needs 8 8-oz. glasses a day. So far, the only person that I have ever know to drink that much is Josh Whitehead!
Few of my students seem to drink it (no wonder they have difficulty thinking and concentrating...their brains have no oxygen!). I even relax and wind down with a tall glass of ice water before falling asleep every night (Aha! Now you know one of my nightly rituals!). It helps me to relax and unstress. Also I drink before classes and before taking online exams (more tricks).
So I don't know. Still thinking about it.
