Fancy tap water is the new trendPosted Apr 27th 2007 11:30AM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Water, Restaurants, Science, Farming, Business, On the BlogsDo you drink bottled water? Are you someone who won't drink water unless it's bottled? Do you only drink a certain brand of bottled water because it's chic, or trendy, or in some way is an extension of who you are?You might be a water snob.But then again, you might be pooh-pooh'd by a new breed of water snobs - those who won't drink anything but tap water.Slate recently published an interesting article about reverse water snobbery, in which people are shunning the energy-wasting, eco-unfriendly bottled water for plain old tap water. Restaurants like Chez Panisse in Berkeley have stopped serving fancy, expensive bottled water in favor of filtered municipal tap water. I'll have to admit, though I hadn't really thought much about the ecological impact of drinking bottled water, I usually don't. I just think it' a ridiculous waste of money.
