In regards to the bottled water issue, I’ve never worried about it. I didn’t even know there was ’status-style’ bottled water. However, I live in an area of the world where clean water is constantly available, our tap water is cleaner than the bottled, and we drink it with little to no filtration.

In regards to ‘think’, your logic is flawed. You most likely won’t be back, but… Google AdSense takes key words from the article, and then searches them, finds a suitable site, and then displays that in the ad space, assuming that those who are reading the article will be interested in the ad, as they are closely related. You are also misconstruing the message presented in this article. I see this article more as a warning against accepting the marketing of a company and accepting their word at face value. Especially in this day and age, many companies are ‘greenwashing’ (we’ve had to devise a term for their trickery; pathetic indeed) leading naive consumers to use their products. It is absurd.
If you think that the author of this article is malignant in her intent, then that is your misunderstanding. She is merely saying that before you drink that bottle of water, pause and think to yourself, “Is it really as wonderful as they say? Are their other options?”.
