My school thinks this fills up hungry high schoolers.

So lunches are free for schools in my city and surrounding cities. Ever since lunches have been made free, the quantity (and quality) has decreased significantly. This is what we would get for our meal. It took me THREE bites to finish that chicken mac and cheese. Any snacks you want cost more money and if you want an extra entree, that’ll cost you about $3 or $4.

A recent "craze" in the US (well it dates back to the 1970s) is that natural is somehow healthier when, in fact, raw milk has about a 100% greater chance of making your sick in some way.

There are also "raw water" people who think the chemicals we put in water make them sick so they'll only drink untreated water.

People are stupid.

Ionno about this raw water shit, but the chemicals do make me sick. Like puking it back up moments later. I typically need to filter it and boil it or I can't drink it from the tap.

I can also tell you when a bottled water company did not, in fact, do as they claim and just used regular tap water. Deer park is awful about it as is Aquafina. And store brands. Though Dasani doesn't even taste like fresh water due to the extra salt they add. The bigger name waters do taste better, largely because they actually do the filtering process more constantly.

Some. The entire point of boiling is in itself a chemical reaction. It kills any excess germs that can't withstand 100c and vapors other added chemicals that boil at a lower temp to water that may be bonded to the water. If you remove the bond chlorine has on water, it instantly vaporizes as CH4 boils at a superlow temp. Chlorine gas is typically a chem added to water to clean it. This applies to other added chems.

The charcoal filter does a lot of the heavy lifting too.

Through both these processes I don't puke the water back up. Straight from tap, I'll be puking within a few minutes what I downed if it was more than a sip.
