   I have a similar experience but with coffee. I drink one, maybe two a day. I don’t smoke, don’t drink soda and am slender watch what I eat and walk everyday with the doggums. This is my one nutritional vice….buy EVERYONE at work comments on my coffee drinking. It’s my own fault, I tent to ‘warm’ up the coffee I’ve been nursing all day. So it looks like I drink more than I do…but the one’s who comment on it are heavy, eat unhealthy lunches and drink soda. I don’t get why they some people feel they can mention anything about my coffee drinking when it’s really nothing to them. The other side would be ‘coffee guardian angels’? Are they actually looking out for my health? Is this a good thing to have people pay that much attention to what goes in my body?

   Odd…..and perplexing. Good looking out or just critical?

   I don’t have Virgo, and I am ethically against buying water, but I am pretty anti-pop, and most of all…I am really against people who interfere in such stupid ways with each other. Who’s he, your mum??

   Tons of virgo here, and of course he’s stupid. I worked as a cashier in a supermarket, and I found it interesting to see what people eat. And I tell you: I would not trade their fridge for mine in a million years (they actually EAT that? :-)). Maybe as an experiment it would be fun, but I like fresh food you see, not all this packaged rubbish.

   I can’t stand buying bottled water. Water in my area is pretty good, and I keep a Brita pitcher to make it taste even better. I keep a few sport bottles on hand in case I need to take water with me somewhere.

   I don’t drink much soda (pop), so I wouldn’t be buying that anyway… Maybe 1-2 every now and then, but that’s it. Since I’ve never had a cavity, I think that’s ok.

   I was a raw foodie, vegetarian macrobiotic eater when I was a kid. Total food Nazi. There was only one store in town that sold health/organic food, and mostly really old/sick people with bowel problems and cancer went there. I was perpetually patronized for being a health nag and teased for my eating habits.
   Who’s laughing how?growl!!!!
   3 planets in Virgo, and Uranus in 6th house. I think that about explains it.

   No Virgo in my chart, and I’m conflicted over both. I’m more inclined to say he’s the fool for ingesting soda on a regular basis, but I’m also tempted to say that bottled water is one of the biggest schemes of our time. Yes I buy it on the street, then I save the bottle and refill it with tap water. I’m all about health, but even more interested in education, soda drinker should know about the horrors of carbonated sugar water, and bottled water drinkers should know that dirty tap water is a hoax.

   the water out here is HORRIBLE, so i actually have water delivered. it’s an indulgence, but one that i appreciate every single day.

   and mr. smarty pants pays for his water too. it doesn’t run out of the facuet for free. he’s just paying less for a less pure product is all.

   oh, i forgot to add: i’m majorly virgo.

   I’ve got Venus conjunct Mercury in Virgo and I guess I don’t pay for either (tap water’s generally okay enough for me) but I definitely don’t buy soda. I’ve never even liked soda, personally, even when I was a kid. And it’s just so bad for you!

   As an aside, I would advise everyone to keep from buying Fiji water as the creation of a 1-liter bottle equals about one pound of greenhouse emissions, among other things (such as contaminating 26 more liters of water). Terrifically bad for the environment.

    You know, this reminds me of the time I was super ill and went up the street for a carton of (gasp) tetra-pack apple juice. This old dude made a big fuss on asking me the price, how shocking it was, what a rip-off it was, how crazy I was. As I hobbled off back home he waddled into his brand-new fancy car. I felt like asking him for a ride. What’s up with that?

    Don’t need to buy bottled water as we have an excellent deep well. However, when I lived in Tucson & San Diego, I only drank bottled water. And I bring water from home to water my office plants & for drinking.

    don’t drink much soda either . . . a little coffee in the AM to kick start the brain, otherwise it’s not pretty

    I buy alot of bottled water, not too much soda..I love the older generation-he is wondering why in the world would one pay for water when it flows out the faucet freely.neither person is stupid just stuck in their ways

    Well, tap water is nearly free… I used to joke that bottled water cost more than gas/petrol, but I’m not sure that’s the case anymore. Whatever the figures are, it doesn’t matter - if someone thinks they need something regardless of sense, they’ll pay for it.

    I have only Neptune in Virgo (4th house).

    I’ve had to drink bottled water since I came to live in Oklahoma - I found out within days that tap water here made me feel ill.

    I used to filter tap water in England because it tased of chlorine, but not because it made me feel ill.

    I guess these problems come with so-called progress. Whaen I was a small child my grandparents had to draw all their water from a pump which drew water from an underground spring.
    Now THAT was what water should taste like.

    Lots of Virgo. Will pay for water, $3.50 half a gallon organic milk (have been for 15 years– I get 1% for my 8 yr. old, fat-free for me)organic fruits and veggies (I go by that list by that group that says what’s worth buying organic or not). I do not keep snack foods in the house (buy a single size bag when I have a craving)and have about 1 or 2 small packs of cookies around. (It’s not food,but since we’re talking about health– I also get really good sunscreen.) I am fascinated by nutrition– I would also totally throw out junk food purchased in a moment of weakness/bigger size than neccessary and not care about the money, because I’d rather limit the damage.

    I never comment on other people’s food, but my son and I do talk about good nutrition and he’s very aware. In fact, he thinks it’s so normal that he saw a lady’s cart in the checkout piled with all kinds of soda and chips and snacks and he says to her, with a friendly grin and very chatty tone, “You sure have lots of unhealthy food there, don’t you?” like he’s commenting on the weather. And thank goodness she was nice, and laughed and said, “Well, I have two teeneagers and they eat a lot of junk.” “You know,” he said, trying to be helpful, “You might want to talk to them about good nutrition…” and I was poking him a little and got him interested in something else..and explained about personal comments later–but it was very funny.

    oh lord, i went to a mom-pop burger place last week, wanting a fat burger and fries, something i really rarely eat (usually eat raw but am losing obsession with rules - uranus currently squaring saturn), and they couldn’t believe i didn’t want the soda with it as a combo - a few cents cheaper, and apparently they don’t get people there who are opposed to drinking soda. basically, i went there in search of a grease bomb and wanting to eat it but was totally grossed out and uppity about the idea of drinking soda! had to laugh at myself.

    Geez I’m a ditz… Forgot to add that I’ve got Virgo rising.

    water bottles are made from–
    “Polyethylene terephalate (PET or PETE) - Used in soft drink, juice, water, beer, mouthwash, peanut butter, salad dressing, detergent and cleaner containers. Leaches Antimony trioxide: workers exposed to antimony trioxide for long periods of time have exhibited respiratory and skin irritation; among female workers, increased incidence of menstrual problems and miscarriage; their children exhibited slower development in the first twelve months of life. The longer a liquid is left in such a container the greater the concentration of antimony released into the liquid.” (and possibly cancer according to other sources)

    I know all this and I still refill my plastic bottles and drink them after they’ve been sitting in the heat. ugh.

    or there’s the aluminum can…

    cancer or alzheimer’s, cancer or alzheimer’s…

    I’ll take both! (but diet, please) (I don’t think there’s a packaging material that causes eating disorders…)

    Virgo Sun here, and the answer is a given! Who would put that toxic soda in their temple????

    I add high frequency drops to my purified water, so my water is even more charged. If ya want to know the company, drop me a note.
