According to the “Supermarket Guru,” demand for bottled water may be nearing an end with the convergence of several trends: the nation’s mounting concern over food safety; consumers’ need to save money; growth of the sustainability movement; and new reports that raise questions about the “good-for-you” image of bottled waters. Both the Government Accountability Office and the non-profit Environmental Working Group have issued reports that point to the possible need for further regulation of bottled waters.
