Since part of your meal is bad the assumption is that there's no reason for the rest of it to not be.
I do that, too. I can't drink non-diet sodas. Too sweet.

But that's an impossibility. That doesn't mean he's not making an effort to be responsible about the decisions he does have control over.
Fair enough I suppose.

Is it OK on LoT to call people for trolling if that's what they're doing?!?

I do that as well (if I get a soft drink s opposed to water). Two reasons I do it: I like diet Pepsi better than regular and, if I'm going to be eating high-caloric food, why add more high calories to an already bad meal.

So, what does that have to do with the media circus caused my the choice he made to drink tap water as opposed to bottled water?

If everyone followed his example it would probably add up to a lot of difference. At least he is making the right choice where he can. Non-travel isn't really an option but drinking tap water is.

It is. But Sleepy's not a troll. Just horribly misguided. :evil:

I'd hardly call one line in one article in a local paper a media circus;)

Well, I guess that's true....but the title of the thread says "smaller footprint".....I guess I took that to mean smaller than it should be and that's where I disagreed. If it means smaller than it could be, than yeah, I guess that's quite true.
