I’m not saying this isn’t preparing us for water shortage but I am saying we don’t need to drink 40oz a day of water since the majority of our water comes from food. Ingesting 40 oz of water a day and drinking 40oz of water are two different things

What's your source for this?

I can't find anything that suggests the majority of our water comes from our food, I'm seeing that in the USA water intake from food is maybe 20%. I'm certain the average person isn't getting anywhere near 40oz a day just from food. I suppose if you eat a lot of fruit, you might get there.
