The Moonies have your back
Sometimes when reading the Moonie Times there is an article so strange, so unexplainable in any context that you have to step back and take a fresh look at why the hell one bothers to read the paper at all. Usually, it's the homeschooling tips ("don't let young Zeke play with the neighbor-children, as he may learn about girls without the appropriate fear and guilt"). Today, the True Father and King Of Peace's minions have taken on the cause of proper posture of all things. And their subject? A certain someone whose Neverland is likely within easy driving distance of Bailey's Crossroads:
"Arlington resident Michael Jackson avoided back surgery by changing his posture and standing up straighter.The 41-year-old tried acupuncture, yoga and chiropractic for a herniated disk in his lower back. It was the treatment of chiropractor Kevin Maggs that ended three years of pain caused by poor posture, prolonged sitting and improper exercising, he says."
I'm as much of a proponent of proper posture and good back health as anyone, but reading about it in the MT makes me wonder whether I haven't given the benefits of slouching a sufficiently serious look.
And PS, chiro is bullsh*t.
