The greatest consumption of anything here in the USA isn't of what comes out of faucets OR bottles. It is consumption of the toxic products of television; 'news' in particular. Our whole population is afflicted with Bovis Scatagenetic Syndrome. It is a form of acquired immune deficiency of the ability to reason. Theological fanaticism and Social Democrat Fantasyism are its most lethal and terminal stages.

Capitalism pollutes our water then charges us for clean water.

Yeah then they throw the bottles in a land fill and wonder why plastic is a problem.

I don't understand the bottled water craze when my taps full of the stuff.

Thought in Oz beer was ?   Lol The offerings of sugary drinks is problem world wide. here in SA we now have the first sugar tax and it hits people like coke big time. We also learned to use 25 ltr of water per day per person because of the drought. Humans in 1st world countries like America waste a lot of water !

Of course bottled water is highly consumed, the stuff that comes out of the facet is poisonous (reminder the Flint still doesn’t have clean water).
