Wonder Why This Revolution Will Never Catch On

Here’s the sort of trend setting rebellion we would only expect to originate from Berkeley.

Bye-bye bottled water. Hello eau de tap. A new trend is in the pipeline with some upscale restaurants ditching packaged H2O in the name of conservation.

The bottled water backlash, which recently spread to the venerable Chez Panisse restaurant in Berkeley, is spurred by environmental concerns over the energy used in transportation as well as the disposal of all those containers.

Wait a minute. Maybe we’re behind the times, but when was the last time you ordered bottled water at a restaurant? This is probably what eating exclusively Asian does to you; isolates you from expensive snobbish European delicacies and Evian. Tap it fellas.
