Not As Crazy As It Sounds

GOP candidate says yoga can open you to demonic possession.

Yoga did begin as a sex cult and there is an element of body worship and spiritual mumbo jumbo that strikes me as strange.  About as strange as weird Evangelical practices.

I've been reading - more like skimming - an ebook called "You Aren't What You Eat," which is highly critical of foodie culture for being gluttonous and overly fetishizing what we put in our bodies and it got me thinking about this stuff.

There is this thing out here on the West Coast which cloaks itself as progressive, mindful, healthy living involving yoga, foodie culture, environmentalism, life coaching, glutton free consumption, etc, a lot belief sets that strike me as more faith than rational.
