because you care

Finally someone has taken the Coca Cola company up on their misleading product - Vitamin Water. Do you drink it because you think it's healthy?

- it contains 27 grams of sugar per bottle (equivalent to 6.5 teaspoons of white sugar!)
- it contains synthetically produced vitamins
- you have to ask yourself why it is so bright and tastes so good (flavourants and colourants)
- even the lawyers of Coca Cola say it is a non-health beverage
- read the label and decide for yourself

And what about the environment?

- shipped in a plastic bottle (dumped into the ground after use)
- Carbon footprint is high when transporting liquids

The price of Vitamin Water is ridiculously high! It's a similar irrational purchase to bottled "tap" water.

So rather than spending your money on brightly coloured sugar water in a plastic bottle, drink water out your tap and eat fruits and vegetables. It may not be as convenient but it is alot better for you, the environment and your bank account.

So vote with your wallet and stop buying Vitamin water!
