"The company sued Michigan over its claim that bottled water couldn't be shipped out of the Great Lakes Basin and the charge that bottled water was different than baby food, soda, cars or any other product that uses significant amounts of water and is sold across the country. Legislators wisely addressed the issue by defining bottled water as a product."

Repeat of yesterday's message: the new Michigan legislation does not define bottled water as a product, but as a consumptive use.
It doesn't define the sky, Sleeping Bear Dunes or white pine forests as products either.
Water is water. It is not a product. Even if the Legislature ever DID say otherwise.
