"Raw water" prices are skyrocketing after a New York Times article detailed Silicon Valley's latest bizarre obsession.
In San Francisco, "unfiltered, untreated, unsterilized spring water" is flying off the shelves. The New York Times reported last week that Rainbow Grocery, a co-op in the city's Mission District, was selling a 2.5-gallon jug of the product from the startup Live Water for $36.99. But when Business Insider's Melia Robinson visited Rainbow Grocery on Tuesday, she found that the co-op was sold out of Live Water's Fountain of Truth Spring Water with a sign indicating a "slight price increase." Since The Times published the article, the price of Live Water had increased to $60.99 from $36.99. Live Water's website also indicates a recent surge in demand. "We're Experiencing A Surge Of New Customers," the website says. "First Water Delivery Might Take Longer Than Usual~ New Orders Will Be Delivered In The Order They Are Received." Startups dedicated to untreated water are popping up, with people including the failed startup Juicero's cofounder Doug Evans gathering gallons of untreated water from natural springs. Evans told The Times that he and his friends brought 50 gallons of raw water to the Burning Man festival. Food-safety experts, however, are skeptical. "Almost everything conceivable that can make you sick can be found in water," the food-safety advocate and attorney Bill Marler told Business Insider. That includes bacteria and diseases such as cholera, E. coli, Hepatitis A, and giardiasis. Because filtered, treated water has become the norm, Marler says, most Americans perhaps don't realize how dangerous raw water can be. "The diseases that killed our great-grandparents were completely forgotten about," he said, adding: "It's fine till some 10-year-old girl dies a horrible death from cholera in Montecito, California." http://www.businessinsider.com/dangerous-raw-water-prices-skyrocket-to-60-2018-1 2018 is p spicy so far --- ...
