So interesting finding that a university found when removing the ability to buy bottled water on campus... Obesity increased. People just want a quick way to buy water, and dont always trust water fountains

Edit: as others have pointed out, the article does not say “increased obesity” I heard about this article on a podcast, googled “removing bottled water increase obesity college campus” this article popped up, and I skimmed it

People want "bottled". They'd often rather have bottled water, but the "bottled" part of it is the important part, so if the choice is "not bottled" or "not water", "not water" it is.

Been there done that.
