Organic Water - Is it Really that Farfetched?

When people go on about organic food, I usually can't help but notice a bottle of Dasani or Aquafina water in his or her hand. As odd as it is, many people never consider the water they're drinking.

One reason people prefer organic food is the lack of chemicals used in the growth of the food - tomatoes are raised without artificial fertilizers or pesticides, packaged without preservatives, etc. There are similar stories for all organic foods - there isn't anything unnecessary, just a basic food item.

When it comes to water, things get tricky. Most water "brands" claim to be purified or filtered before bottling, using some complex, patented process that removes impurities. However, these process introduce foreign objects and substances to what is supposed to be purified, like charcoal.

That's why I prefer ground well water. It comes from an underground lake, where it has been purified by none other than the earth. It's naturally cool and doesn't have to be transported (except upwards), messed with, or filtered - it is just as the Earth presents it, which seems to be the new definition of organic.

But, it doesn't only affect drinking. Have you ever tried making any type of food with city water, or otherwise "cleansed" water? It isn't the same. You can't be sure you're not drinking some load of chlorine or another 'purifier.' The only way you can be sure your organic food is still organic once it's been cooked is by using fresh, ground well water.

So, if you're worried about chemicals in your food, perhaps it's time you consider the other end. I understand it may be difficult to have a ground well in the middle of an urban city, but if you can, I can't recommend having a ground well enough - it's safe, it saves on city water bills and buying bottled water, and you can be sure it hasn't been touched by anyone - or anything - else.
