CBS's Washington bureau tells us that a Congressional panel will hear today that no one really knows if bottled water is better for you than tap water. Or worser for you. Fact is, bottle l'eau isn't regulated in The Land of the Free.
Meme chose here in the Great White North.
And La Belle.
Americans, and those of us in Canada, drink an enormous amount of bottled water. While there is strict federal regulation of the water that comes out of your tap on all three sides of the border, you generally can't find out where the water in those plastic bottles comes from or what's in it.
Several disturbing reports will be released at the Congressional hearing, focusing on whether tougher regulation of bottled water is needed.
Like, is stuff leaking from those plastic bottles?
Stay tuned.

228...Do They Get The New York Times In Heaven?
If they do, The Greatest Canadian [at least according the CBC], Tommy Douglas, must be smiling.
First thing that popped out of my copy of the New York Times [only N I N E dollars, plus tax, at Boushey's, Elgin Street, Ottawa---by the way that is more than a cooked chicken---N I N E] was the lead that President Obama's is going to step up his role in pushing for health care reform. He had previously said that he would leave the contentious issue, and why universal health care is contentious is beyond me, to Congress. Instead President Obama will give speeches and conduct town-hall style meetings to push his preferred policies, including government-run insurance coverage. Nice step, four or five or six decades too late but, better late than never.
By the way, N I N E dollars. No comics. Quite the racket, eh?
