Could it be that the Amish don't seem to have high rates of cancer because they tend to die young from other, preventable diseases? No, they clearly all eat protein-rich superfoods and this nice Gentleman is kind enough to sell me an "Amish mega-protein health diet" that will fix all of my problems for only $699.99 a month.
The CW goes at the front and mark as NSFW please
Using an ai image to venerate the Amish is pretty funny
I am certain the Amish eat vegetables.
i feel like the no cars and farm work is more relevant, but chuds aren't ready to hear about that
I feel as though their high activity levels due to their low level of allowed technology is probably a greater factor in their lack of obesity over their diet.
Last Amish people I saw in my city were visiting to get medical care for their kid. There was a group of about 13 of them standing around and I asked what brought them there, they took a train for days to get specialized medical care
I’m assuming they’re just talking about adopting the diet and none of the other simple living habits like going without modern tech/social media or doing the labor of food raising and harvesting themselves
20-25 years ago the pastor at my parents' church used call the Amish "communists" because they are pacifist and are against joining the military.
I haven't gone to that church in many years and neither have my parents for that matter, but I wonder if that guy sees the Amish any differently now.
Where are the vegetables? It's just saurkraut and pickles, there is like 0 fiber here.
Edit: my fault I do see a carrot in that stew
i don't know many amish but i feel like they're both capable of and allowed to pasteurise milk. seems a few grains unlikely literally all of them have a dairy cow
Who's recording that? Do you have stats? I don't even know if the Amish go to hospitals so there's a solid chance they just die of undiagnosed cancer.
Ok twitter addict, go milk that cow and churn some butter.
Kinda been going on for a while in the Christian Fiction novel world actually. If you search “Amish Fiction” you’ll find a shitload of books about Amish people, largely written by non Amish Christians. Lots of those are romance, focusing around converting people.

While I have no doubt that the Amish consume animal products to the greatest extent possible, it's doubtful that they eat significant amounts of meat, if for no other reason than that staple crops and vegetables are a more consistent and inexpensive way to feed a community.
They might get a cow once or twice a year and a chicken here and there, nowhere near the amount the average American would expect to eat or is depicted on this chart. It might be a bit of an event for them.
Japan or Amish compounds, which way western man?
They'll eat more pickles but they won't log the fuck off and stop being annoying online.
They must have given up on cavemen because this is the same shit they pulled with neolithic people.
it's not the worst thing that nationalists have ever latched onto. of course homesteading colonialism is implicit, but the misogyny is less explicit than in the tradwife movement, so i shan't complain too loud
It's those 4am barn raisings that do it to you
