My attitude is, if having bottled water means that someone will actually drink water, then there is absolutely nothing evil about it.
Yeah, that. I am NOT a fan of bottled water, but one really has to take these things one step at a time and bottled water can be a huge step in the right direction.
Augh, I can't do fresh fruit all by myself for that reason - fortunately M eats it pretty voraciously, plus encourages me to include it in evening meals. I did pretty much quit sweets for a while last year, but what I got from that long-term was both how to moderate them, and that I could moderate them - if I had my house in order in other respects, sweet things didn't have to be a dietary sin, and there were equally calorific things I'd much sooner relegate to rarely-ever status (eg. alcohol and grains).
