Bottled Water Isn't Really That Funny

This is my first blog post. My name is Timothy Newton Porter, but I usually just go by Tim. It is short and simple and to the point, but that isn't very interesting. Also, it isn't what I intended to talk about in my first post.
I want to talk about bottled water and the notion of convenience. Everyone has heard some cheap comedian talk about how "stupid" bottled water is or how the French are laughing at the fact that they can sell water to Americans that we will actually buy it. There are asinine philosophies. America and many other countries are moving towards a style of eating and indeed a lifestyle that revolves around instant gratification and convenience. This implies that's a lot of unhealthy food. Water, though, is not an unhealthy option. Sure you could get a coke and an extra 140 calories. It's easy, but it's really not your best option. Water is probably the most important thing we put into our bodies. Without it we die very quickly.
So, if you are a comedian and you happen to be reading this. Think twice about making fun of something that is helping so many people by keeping them out of the grips of the coca-cola corporation
