Raw water?

File this under the "are you kidding me?" section.  Look, it's a free country and if you want to snort cocaine, eat tree bark or drink raw water knock yourself out. So I am not saying that you don't have the right to do that, you certainly do.

But just because something is "natural" or "raw" doesn't mean it's a good idea. In fact, it often means it's a terrible idea. In theory, getting attacked by a bear is natural but that doesn't mean it's a good idea. The Ebola virus is also natural, but that doesn't mean it's a good idea either. Like it or not, modern science and technology are your friends and how they purify water and food is nothing short of a miracle.We live in a very spoiled world right now. People rant about vaccines and worship organic food but in realty, our ancestors from 100 years ago to 1,000 years ago would have absolutely loved the technology and science we have. It's easy to preach about natural cures when you aren't dying at age 2 of diphtheria or the diseases carried by "raw water".

Drink up.
