Earlier this month some alarming questions were raised about where your money goes when you support Fiji Water. The water brand is the most popular imported bottled water to the United States and is a favorite among celebrities from Paris Hilton to President Barack Obama to Mary J. Blige, who demands ten bottles of the stuff before concerts.
The profit money from the product has been said to be funneled into the pockets of Fiji’s military dictatorship and the company’s practices are having a negative impact on the environment. So it’s a 2fer!
According to their website Fiji Water fires back at critics: “We strongly disagree with the author’s premise that because we are in business in Fiji somehow that legitimizes a military dictatorship. We bought FIJI Water in November 2004, when Fiji was governed by a democratically elected government. We cannot and will not speak for the government, but we will not back down from our commitment to the people, development, and communities of Fiji…
Check out some journalsim below.
Unfortunatley we support dictatorships all the time and we really don’t seem to care becasue its mostly brown and black people doing all the suffering. Celebrities buy and opely support products all the time without knowing where they come from, who’s making them, and what damage they might be causing to the environment.
Fiji Water is the #1 imported water to the U.S. though and most of us don’t know what we’re supporting when we buy what we buy in this country, myself included. But when we find out we can’t unknow what we know and the decisions about what to do from there are ours. These are not major news stories though and that is an issue with the media too.
