You just don't know anymore what you should be eating. One day they tell you something is good for you so eat it every day, then later it's found to cause cancer. What's scary to me is what's in the water we're drinking. Just one example, millions of women colour their hair at home or have their hairdresser colour it. So that means millions of bottles of hair colour are being rinsed off in sinks and going down the drain straight into our water supply. Not to mention everything else that goes down our drains and toilets every day straight into the lake. The poor fish having to swim around in that water every day. Is a Brita Filter and whatever the city is doing to purify our water enough??

The Europeans get their drinking water from far filthier sources than we do, and yet they don't have higher disease or death rates from their tap water.

A friend of mine did her engineering master's thesis on water quality, and she giggles when she hears Canadians worrying about their drinking water.

Canada has a had problems on occasion, and there are still concerns about the water quality on many aboriginal reserves. But the later problems are caused by bad management.

Well, if you really have to worry, think about the moves the EPA has been making to identify and control major sources of potable water in the USA.

"Vote Dem or Dehydrate" is not beyond the pale.

    Bijou, he standards for water quality in most US cities will never clean the water to same quality as am over-the-counter water filter such as a Brita. There is no need for this much expensive filtration when only a tiny amount of the water in the water supply is actually used for human consumption. the vast majority goes to industrial process, cleaning processes and washing even more human waste down the toilet. There is no need for highly filtered water for these things.

    I really don't care if the water going down my toilet contains flouride or not but water treatment makes our water safe to drink, safe enough to wash our cars, and definitely safe enough to wash clothes and dishes.

Definitely Now you have me wondering how long it would take me to drink the amount of water I use for one hat soaking bath. It is easy to get bottled water or a filter for drinking water.

I am "afraid" you are right about this.

Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I always lived with my grandmother's philosophy regarding food "everything in moderation". The problems with food today are not specific consumption but over consumption. At this stage in life though I do tend to over indulge in my favorite sin, sugar.

I do try to avoid chemicals that "kill" things. I figure if it kills any living thing it can't be good for me. When in question I remember that spot on my EEG that resulted from exposure to nuero toxins, likely DDT. I'm not a fanatic about it but don't go out of my way to expose myself either.

Many of the medications our docs recommend or even insist we take are far more harmful and have unknown long term side effects. I avoid these too if the problem is just prevention rather than treatment of an existing condition. Doctors do not like this approach.

    Quoting Adolpho:
    My Lord, you really are ill informed are you not? For your information, waste water (sewage) is treated and returns to our water supply and that includes our drinking water. Time to do some research before you continue to make really ignorant claims.
That's right. Everything goes from our drains and our toilets, straight into the lake, then it is pumped out of the lake and purified.

I knew two men who drove a truck for a 'spring water' company which people buy tons of thinking it is pure and clean. They told me that is not true, there is no spring on earth that is any cleaner or safer to drink than out of our tap. If bottled water has the letters 'pws' on it somewhere that means it comes from a public water source which means a tap, the same place all our drinking water comes from.

    Quoting Fossil_Fetcher:
    Obviously this is not the way it works, Bijou. Water is filtered and treated before it is returned to the lake. If not, the lakes would be awash in toilet paper, used condoms and feminine hygiene paraphernalia. If your lakes are like this you should move elsewhere because even Ohio cities would have safer drinking water.

Hi Fossil: I just read all about toilet waste, drinking water, and where it comes from. Yuk. You are right, it goes through a purification process before it goes into the lake.

Maisie,

You and lizst have no clue about who's against you, and who's discussing things with you.

Read Don's comments and read Lulu's comments....can't you tell the difference?

Until you do, there's no use discussing anything with you.
Until you change the way you respond to each of them, there's no hope here.
Until your realize that what you say can be alright, but not necessarily all right, there's a chance for some communication.

You may not fear drinking the water, but you fear drinking the truth

It's funny how that works...
confusing comment? they are confusing when they disagree
Agree with everyone... I don't think so, in fact it would probably be more accurate to say I don't agree with anybody
A different perspective of things never hurts. Perhaps thinking in rhyme and poetry would force you out of your box.

Most important is the fact you never deal my comments, you never respond to my comments.

You try and dissuade others from even reading it. Even to try and take some meaning from it

If there was a reason for me to know you understand. It would be the fact that you don't want anyone else to understand.

We've gone round and round with you understanding perfectly when I agree with you, and that I'm too confusing when I don't..

"Twas months before 'lections, and all thru the site,
All the oldsters were fighting
Not a one of them right"

very good, I wish you understood it.. the way I do

What's not right..... is in the fight.

It's not the reason, it's the fight that makes "not one of them right".
At least that's what I think..

Oh I got it..

the idea about poetry is to understand the different interpretations.

I got yours and I got yours right.

My interpretation and my belief..Is that the fight alone is sufficient to make neither side right.

If there's a fight then no one's right
Who's more or less right depends on might
The might of the side one might be on

I'll leave up to you, if that's alright
If it's up to me, it's never all right
not until the might and fight are gone
