This week in class we discussed water distribution in California. I started researching water in California, which linked me to some interesting information about bottled water vs. tap water.
The tap water in San Jose is so bad that I rarely drink it - unless I wake up at 5 A.M. hungover and parched as all hell and there is no bottled water in the apartment. Even then, it freaks me out. There's tons of flem and visible particles in the glass; some days it's so bad that the liquid is not even transparent. This crap is probably residue off someone else's recycled toilet water, and it's probably getting in my hair when I shower. Yuck.
Unfortunately, although bottled water may look better, studies have found that its contents vary from the same to worse than tap water:

On the same side, tap water in some areas contains drugs:

I guess I should just accept that I'm drinking & bathing in drugs, bacteria, & unidentified floaty crud no matter what. And we wonder why cancer is an epidemic...
