Today, bottled water lobbyists released a predictable, biased, response:
1. Stop picking on bottled water, plastic particles could be everywhere;
2. Maybe they're not sooo bad for human health, we don't know.
3. The methods used are new, so who really knows if the results are valid.
4. Keep drinking bottled water.

U.S. Economic Growth Has Not Been Shared Evenly Since 1974
For two decades after World War II, incomes grew at a rate close to the U.S. economy-wide growth rate. Anemic growth from 1969 to 1974 kept inequality in check. But since then, the benefits of growth have not been evenly distributed. Racial and gender inequality is also manifested in income inequality.
