Moon's Sushi Empire
If you are a sushi eater, you're an indirect supporter of Sun Myung Moon, according to a Chicago Tribune report. Moonies have "managed to integrate virtually every facet of the highly competitive seafood industry." The company that supplies most of the 9,000 sushi restaurants in the U.S. has a fleet of boats and runs distribution centers across the country. Part of the proceeds of each dish go to the man who calls himself "humanity's Savior, Messiah, Returning Lord, and True Parent" For more on the Moonies, see Christianity Today's coverage below.
