The EU is a fucking laughingstock. This debacle is just the latest. And you cannot get tap water in most of Germany as there are no public water fountains.EU bans claim that water can prevent dehydration - Telegraph
EU officials concluded that, following a three-year investigation, there was no evidence to prove the previously undisputed fact.
Producers of bottled water are now forbidden by law from making the claim and will face a two-year jail sentence if they defy the edict, which comes into force in the UK next month.
Last night, critics claimed the EU was at odds with both science and common sense. Conservative MEP Roger Helmer said: This is stupidity writ large.
The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true.
If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it.
Lol, anyone left wondering why the EU is goiing straight to hell?
You need look no further.
Ahh more anglo-American braindead anti-EU propaganda
They banned bottled watered companies for using this as a method of promoting their expensive water. You can not promote food stuffs in the EU as "healthy", which is what the water companies were attempting to do.
Like it or not, if you are dehydrated, then you are much better of drinking tap water than bottled water since bottle water lacks a lot of the minerals and salts in the correct amounts that are needed to combat the most normal form of dehydration in Europe... and no that is not a lack of water, but a lack of salts and minerals in the body.
This is at least based some what on medical science, where as the US congress labelling Pizza as a fucking vegetable is fucking moronic on an epic scale.
The whole system is on life support because unaccountable bureaucrats have spent their respective countries into oblivion.
At least Congress didnt tell pizza companies to start labeling their product as health foods, which I would expect with the EU.
