reply in first person
How many of you drink bottled water? If you do, what is the main reason: convenience, taste, or water quality? Was the information you learned in the Nutrition in the Real World feature “Tap Water or Bottled Water: Is Bottled Better” surprising?

Answer 1

I do drink bottled water sometimes, and for me, the main reason is convenience. It’s easy to grab a bottle when I'm on the go, and it’s nice to have something portable. I also appreciate the taste of some bottled waters, but mostly, it’s about having access to water when I'm busy or traveling.

As for the "Tap Water or Bottled Water: Is Bottled Better" feature, I found some of the information surprising. I didn't realize how strict the regulations for tap water can be compared to bottled water, nor did I know how much plastic waste bottled water generates. It definitely made me think twice about my choices!
