RUSH: I warned you people about this next story. I warned you about it earlier this year. I read a story written by a couple babes at the San Francisco Chronicle, chronicling all the pollution and the waste and the fraud that is in bottled water, and they calculated all of the waste with all the bottles and how the water is not better than anywhere else, and it\u2019s more expensive, and it\u2019s a fraud being perpetrated on the poor and all the usual things. So from Berkeley, California, ‘Bye-bye bottled water. Hello eau de tap. A new trend is in the pipeline, with some upscale restaurants ditching packaged H2O in the name of conservation. The bottled water backlash, which recently spread to the venerable Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley,\u2019 It is a good place by the way, ‘is spurred by environmental concerns over the energy used in transportation as well as the disposal of all those containers.\u2019 You gotta put those bottles on trucks, you gotta roll \u2019em around over there. <\/p>\n

As far as waste is concerned, water is water. You\u2019re either going to drink it out of the tap or drink it out of the bottle. If they stop selling bottles, you drink it out of the tap. The supply of water on the planet\u2019s finite, you understand this? I\u2019ve had atmospheric scientists confirm this to me. Water is in the form of snow, it\u2019s in the form of water vapor. It\u2019s in the form of rain, clouds. The amount of water is finite. Just gets recycled over different places and different parts of the world, different times. Has anybody created new water? When\u2019s the last time you saw new water created? May happen in the space shuttle when they\u2019re up there, and, of course, the desalinization plants convert seawater, which evaporation also does. But we just can\u2019t call on evaporation and harness it immediately. That\u2019s how rain from the sea is clean. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Anyway, they\u2019re on the warpath now to get rid of bottled water because of all the fuel it takes to transport all those bottles and of course there\u2019s no fluoride in it, and it\u2019s not as healthy, far more expensive. Just turn on the tap. It was just yesterday San Francisco said we\u2019re going to get rid of plastic bags, and I told you yesterday that the compact fluorescent bulb is going to be the next plastic bag, looks like bottled water is going to beat it. Bottled water is the next plastic bag. All of you people thinking you\u2019re drinking healthy stuff out there — I drink bottled water, I got a bottle right here, but I don\u2019t drink bottled water for any stupid health reason. I drink bottled water because this stuff is called fruit 2O and it\u2019s various fruit flavors in there. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t like water — not that I don\u2019t like it, I mean when I\u2019m direly thirsty, I\u2019ll have it, obviously, but I don\u2019t drink enough of it. But this stuff makes it enjoyable. I drink minimum four of these a day, 16 ounces in here. This one happens to be grape flavored Fruit2O. It\u2019s just water with no calories, no nutrients and all that stuff, just the flavoring. It is delicious. I have a reason. I can\u2019t turn on my tap and get grape water. I can\u2019t turn on the tap and get tropical fruit water. Now just as I have come along and discovered a flavored water that I actually like with no calories in it, guess what? The commie babes on the left are going to try to take it away from me on the assumption that I am contributing to the destruction of the planet and no doubt global warming, et al.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
