Key to Madonna’s youth? $10,000/month on bottled water

According to IN Touch Weekly magazine, the pop star spends $10,000 a month on bottled water each month. Quoting “a pal”, the weekly celebrity magazine claims Madonna only drinks specially blessed Kabbalah madonna.jpgwater, spending an average of $10,000 a month on the bottled H2O for herself, husband Guy Ritchie and children Lourdes, Rocco and David.

“Madonna drinks a lot of water - that’s one of her fitness secrets,” her pal told In Touch. “And this is the only stuff she will touch.” According to http://www.kabbalahwater.com/, the blessed liquid “manifests water’s primordial capacity to heal and protect.”

Madonna follows Kabbalah, a mystical form of Judaism, wearing the recognizable “red string” around her left wrist, which http://www.kabbalah.com/ says is to “protect us from the envious looks of others, and to help us eliminate feelings of jealousy and resentment in ourselves.”

Madonna “adopted” a boy who has family in Malawi to prove she loves black babies.

Well, maybe she should put her money where he child’s family is, instead of wasting it on her cult.

A shallow well dug by locals but pump supplied by a church costs $350 in Malawi. This improves the hygiene of those using mudholes and getting Schistosomiasis from ponds and rivers.

A deep well costs $6000 and the water doesn’t need to be purified to get rid of germs to drink.

How many gallons of oil are burned each month to ship Madonna’s blessed water to her thirsty family.

What an awful joke of a caring person she is. The red string ain’t working on me as I resent her wealth born from nothing but cheesy music and hubbies’ bad movies.

Where do you think the money goes that she pays for the water? It goes to build pumps for people that need clean water. Don’t be so quick to judge.

“What can one bottled water company do?”

Have a look at this site and remember this name before we buy bottled water next time.

Madonna should be working to bring water to impoverished areas to support industry and agriculture.
