Avoid costly bottles; use water from your tap

More on the poveresity epidemic.

"We've pinched and reorganized our household budgets. But we still often overpay for commercially bottled water. On an annual basis, the typical American consumer spends $1,400 on bottled water vs. 49 cents for the same amount of water from our kitchen faucet, according to the Center for a New American Dream, a nonprofit consumer group in Maryland.

Bottled water does not taste better, according to blind taste tests, and tap water must meet stricter safety measures. New American Dream has just launched a national educational campaign designed to promote filtered water from the kitchen sink."

This is indicative of how the IMHO Robber Barons of the Diet Industry, e.g., Barry Sears, Jorge Cruise, David Katz, NutriSystem, etc., make their gazillions off of regular folk by charging huge amounts for BS.

To understand how these IMHO crooks are robbing people, see here.
