Lol wut?. I buy around 272 bottles of Nestle water a month from Makro, the water is not remotely near tap water on Ph, sodium content, taste nor flooded with fluoride and pipe-cleaner half the time.

You can drink tap water if you want, but many choose not to and there's a big difference.

Then you get on to Perrier and Evian and thats not even comparable they're amazing waters, their softness is like the Alps flipping hugged your mouth :)

high-calorie diets cause diabetes, because sugar is an easy scape goat, remember back in the day fat was bad. So everyone cut out butter and went with margarine and also cut out eggs cause of choloestrol.

Sugar is a carb yes, you're more likely to get diabetes from Lays then you're from Cadbury :p

In such a comparison, it sounds ridiculous, because it is. Obviously neither will “give you” diabetes, in moderation.

In excess, both are dangerous, one slightly more than other, but that’s moot because the actual problem is the excess.

Yup exactly :) the excess part is the problem :)
 
But our sugar tax should save us right because these companies would need to pay more tax? Thanks anc for protecting SA citizens as intended /s

funny enough, the house i bought has some fancy filter thing below the sink. I/ve just never actually been under to see what it is or how it woks. it has a separate tap and what appears to be 2 white covers over canisters underneath.

Just so used to grabbing a bottle out of the fridge...

I don't know about the garbage but i would imagine a company like Nestle would make sure their bottles are bio-degradable.

No, it's just filling landfills or if we're lucky in this country recycled but I don't feel like the plastic recycling debate. In the end throwing away a bottle every time you drink water is a kakload of plastic waste.
