The Snooze published an article on three Ann Arbor restaurants dropping bottled water from their menus. Actually, make that two, since Zigerman’s never had bottled water anyways.

Two issues with the article:

1. They didn’t talk to any restaurants that still sell bottled water (here are more than 150, along with contact information)
2. For a viewpoint from the bottled water industry association, they copy-and-pasted a quote from their website:
   

   “The bottled water industry has an outstanding record and solid commitment to environmental stewardship and is a leader in the food and beverage industry in reducing its environmental footprint, while at the same time delivering the healthful value of bottled water to thirsty consumers,” the association says on its Web site.

Which is stellar journalism.
