I wanted to see who all watched this and what their opinions were on the show. I have done a few research projects on bottled water and quite frankly it absolutely disgusts me and this documentary was enough to make up all of my research.

Just curious on some feedback.

Make bottled water illegal in the US and only use it for emergency situations again.

    TAPPED is all about the absolutely atrocious business of selling bottled water. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=72MCumz5lq4

    There is the youtube link for the trailer.. Take the time and watch the whole video.. It will change your life and the way you think about bottled water..

    Just a couple facts I have researched and proven on this video.... Any bottled water bottled and sold in the same state is NOT regulated by ANYONE. No state or federal regulations. So bottle your tap water and sell it in your local gas station. No need to test it at all.

    FDA regulations for bottled water... It is ONE persons PART TIME job to test and regulate ALL of the bottled water sold in the US.

    I haven't seen it or heard of it....however, bottled water is my theory as to why there are so many more ailments and illnesses now than there were years ago.

    I'm definitely going to check it out!

    They talk about the PET and PETE plastics that are made from a process from petroleum like most plastics..other than the fact that when these get warm in your car they have a tendency to leach chemicals and properties of gasoline into your water.
