Water, with out water you die much quicker than with out food.

Water, it is the most important thing to live. You can live for sometime without food but can't without water.
But May I know in which sense are you asking this question in forum.

AIG is a great company to gamble with, but it's not the kind of company I would ever own long term. This is quite upsetting indeed.

I would choose water, you are more likely to be able to find some source of food than clean water and once you start to dehydrate you are in big trouble.

I believe you can keep going longer without any food, so yeah id choose water based on what i know.

Water. I can bathe in water, brush my teeth with it, and water can help detoxify organs. Food: not so much. Also, you can buy seeds or beg someone to spare you sprouts and you grow food with... water.

From the article: "it would be raising rates by 51%. It would mean more than $750,000 in additional revenue a year, just from 8,000 customers."

Honestly, the messed-up billing system and the wrongly-assessed late fees would make me a lot madder than the increase in price. I mean, yeah, it's an increase, but if I had to choose between spending $7.81 more a month to keep my water on, or food, I'd definitely choose to cut back on the food budget by $7.81 a month and keep the water.
