Beginning with the paragraph that starts with "FDA and state bottled water programs are seriously underfunded." http://www.nrdc.org/water/drinking/bw/exesum.asp |
Notice how it doesn't say that. It says that the FDA has the equivalent of less than one person. Which likely means that there are many people who regulate bottled water, but they also do many other things, spending about as much time regulating bottled water as if there were one staff member dedicated to this. But the report goes on to mention how this is an inefficiency of allocation of resources. The FDA spends more than it needs to on tap water and less than it needs to on bottled water.
