People are drinking raw water! “We have to save them,” is what humanitarian groups would say if people were drinking raw water in a Third World country. No, this is happening in America, and the raw food lifestyle trend started the movement.
Before we decide if this is a healthy solution or absolute insanity, we need to understand what the 21st century definition of raw water is and what is involved in drinking it. Raw water is an engineering term meaning “untreated feed water” or a municipality term that applies to “water in its natural state, before any treatment.”
