Hmm, well I don't know if anyone has cared enough to do a study of the Amnish to see how many get cancer. Of course some do, that's just common sense, but how many I have no clue. Likely it is a lower numbr then us English of course.
As for fat amnish, I have seen some, but no, not a lot. They work for a living, and work hard, of course they weigh less.
As to the rest, there ae not that many of them, so an overall comparison would be hard, if anyone even gave enough of a damn to do a study, which I think they don't.
Personally, if I liked butter, churning it myself would not appeal to me. Like I said, mix the old and the new, but don't cling to a single extreme to the exception of secluding yourself from the rest of the world, that certainly is not good. Like I said, their goal to reach a closer state in relation to God is misguided and ass backwards, but thats their choice, I really don't give a hoot.
I mostly feel sorry for the women. Like any cult, often times the women suffe the most. Amnish women have known no different, but their time is spent doing twice as much work as the man, usually more, doing work that today is considered two full time jobs. Imagine how hard their work is without the modern conveniences of today. The Amnish man has it easy compared to his women. Sad.
