Bottled Water
This week on Flightless Bird, David sets out to understand America\u2019s obsession with bottled water. Joined by Monica, he tries to figure out why tap water just won\u2019t cut it in many US States, leading Americans to spend billions on bottled water every year. David talks to author and scientist Peter Gleick about tap water myths, and how some bottled water companys have accidentally added things like arsenic and cricket parts to their bottled creations. We discover why a new sports stadium purposefully didn\u2019t install enough public water fountains, and get to the bottom of whether carcinogenic chemicals leech from plastic bottles creating a deathtrap.
