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. |
That's essentially the same thing then, perhaps even worse because there's no one that has a dedicated job of regulating bottled water. Regardless though, they don't spend enough time or resources on it. At this point, bottled water is more harmful than tap water, and big businesses spend so much money trying to convince us otherwise. If you have any interest in this topic, I really advise that you watch or at least skim the documentary "FLOW: For Love of Water." It's really informative and faces the facts, dangers and possible solutions of our situation regarding water.
