Hey, let’s not be too hasty here. You gotta have something to wash down that Tide detergent pod.

Sacredness/purity is a moral channel, along with fairness, care/harm, in-group loyalty, respect for authority.
Liberals tend to ignore the respect for authority.
They used to not put value on in-group loyalty, but the social justice warriors exclude everyone but their followers in an increasing number of organizations. The Science Fiction Writers of America is now excluding conservatives ... though science fiction groups pushing social justice has been worsening for years.
This “raw water” along with raw food, clean eating, veganism, local food is the liberals’ chaotic attempt to apply purity rules to food without a coherent ideology. They want the feel good / feel holy aspect of Kosher without the stable rule-set or standards.

Raw water? It’s called a ‘well’ in most rural areas of the nation.

Actually, eco and health nazis want us to go back to the stone age.

I’ve been drinking well water for over 30 years now. I am, however, glad that I grew up in a city with fluoridated water.
Healthy teeth are a good thing! ;)

Good one! It also depends highly on where the raw water comes from. Natural mountain springs produce raw water. So do rivers in densely populated urban areas of the third world, laced with additives such as ash from human corpses and caca.
Huge difference.

Raw water from a bored well with a grouted casing installed all the way to bedrock and a pitless adaptor or other type of sealed cap, is usually safe to drink.
Any water from a river, or from a source under the direct influence of surface water, is usually not.
There are, of course, exceptions to both of the above scenarios, but I would never purchase "raw water" in bottles from anyone.

Walk though an old cemetery and see how young people died in the 1700s and 1800s. I'm pretty sure they all ate ‘natural’ food without preservatives, and drank ‘raw’ water.

Pipe down and get back in your cave, Serf! ;)

“young people died” = “young people were when they died”

Raw water? Its called a well in most rural areas of the nation. From a deep well in a rock aquifer, it doesn't really need treatment.

Good point. I don’t trust ANY surface water.

Giardia should also be a serious concern for those who drink untreated surface water.

They say to be healthy you have to drink "x" quarts of water per day....
I grew up in northern Michigan and the only water I drank was from the drinking fountain in school. At home we had that foul crap known as "well water" aka "iron water" and I never drank it.

Marketers of raw water say skipping the water treatment process makes the product better for your health, as naturally occurring probiotics, electrolytes and silica are not filtered out.

“You have died of dysentery”
Back in the computer stone-age I used to play that game sometimes.
What is its name? I cannot remember.
