Are you happy to pay more for water than milk?

Something really interesting popped up on my Facebook feed today that I thought it was worth sharing.

Save our south-west farmers posted the following:

"What has this country become that it’s OK to charge $3.69 for a bottle of water yet some people won't pay more than $1 for a litre of milk. This doesn’t just affect our dairy farmers, it affects us all one way or another."

So, what is our reluctance to pay more for milk, a product that we genuinely need to consume, than water which runs 'free' from our tap? Have we become so used to the convenience of simply grabbing a bottle of water on the go that the ridiculous price we are charged doesn't make us cringe? Or is it that those people who don't want to pay more than a litre for milk are simply not the demographic that buys bottled water anyway?

ERRY,   thanks for that,   i was just about to throw that carton out and looked at it,   YES,   it does say packed for woolworths,  GOD i cant take a trick,   but got another carton yesterday from 7/11,  as i knew i wpuld run out,    ON THE 7/11,    it says packed  for 7/11,   at 357 FERNTREE GULLY ROAD,    MOUNT WAVERLY,   HAS THE FLYING KANGAROO ON IT,     i do hope that one is ok,     i often get from 7/11 as you can get 2 for $5,   or a milk and a loaf for $5,    or two milk or two bread,   whichever way you want,    i wish some supermarket would have a AUSSIE only aisle,    but the supermarkets wont have one,    DICK SMITH tried to bring that in,    but the s.m said no, would be nice to know what we were eating ,
