>why yes, i eat organic
okay
FUCK the Amish
Reading Terminal Amish are barely Amish. Look: that guy has an electric fucking fan and electric fucking till. It's Amish larp.
>>21784717How does that even work? I go to an Amish supermarket every week that has all the usual electric appliances, and it isn't all non-Amish who use them, and even if they did manage to avoid using any of that the lights and AC/heating are electric as well.
>>21784733You could try looking up literally anything about how the Amish actually operate instead of whining about them with nothing but a 5 year old's "they dun use any technology!" understanding.
>>21784701Please do. Their genetic diversity could use a fresh injection.
>>21784683ARGHHHH I SHOULDVE EATEN THE FREE RANGE HONEY AHHH IT BURNS
>>21784683I never understood the Amish.>"Electricity is... LE BAD!!"What? Why?
>>21784760>implying they're wrong
>>21784760The Amish want to keep themselves intact and apart from the modern world. They survived for centuries without electricity, why would they need it now? And having to pay for electricity, and the appliances that use it, would require money, meaning they'd need to sell produce and interact with the outside world. It's a complication they don't need so they avoid it.
>>21784733The lights and AC/heating at Reading Terminal aren't up to them. Using that fan and that till? Absolutely is a choice, especially the fan.
>>21784760>>21784793afaik the main thing is self-reliance. A lot of them have generators or solar now but you'll almost never see them hooked to the grid, and there's also a whole bizarre ecosystem of tools that are normally electric being converted to gas engines for them. They also separate work and home and are more open to modern stuff for work.
>>21784717>Reading Terminal Amish are barely Amish. Look: that guy has an electric fucking fan and electric fucking till. It's Amish larp.Amish are allowed to use electricity for work related reasons as long as its not within the household. They can have a telephone but it needs to be out in a workshop not inside the house.
>>21784683>why yes, I am easily fooled
>>21784748right! they are in a genetic dead end, they are starting to get tons of retards because of their near inbreeding.
>YOU HAVE TO BROWSE SOCIAL MEDIA ALL DAY LIKE I DOwhy are you people like this
>>21784841The birth of an entire race of Habsburgs.
>>21784760They're some of the only white people with replacement birthrates, they're doing better than most of us.
>>21784934She is a Mennonite, not an Amish.
>>21784937PLAP PLAP PLAPPREGNANT
>>21784933>white peopleA lot of Amish Mennonites adopt non-white babies to avoid >>21784888Also, there were Indonesian Mennonite, Chinese Mennonite, Mexican Mennonite and regular-ass Mennonite churches all within a few blocks of each other near my old place in South Philadelphia. I lived right at the corner of 16th and Passyunk/Snyder.
>>21784701I would marry and fuck an Amish woman. you're right, anon.
>>21784937still would.
>>21784760I do not think /ck/ is the best place to learn of Amish theological beliefs and how they interact with the modern world.
>>21784774then join them and stop shitposting faggot, you won't last.
>>21784683If you can afford it, or you can grow it yourself, good for you (literally and figuratively).
>>21784701Isn't he mennonite
>>21784683>home stylewhy would i want to pay for that? dumb marketing term
What's truthfully the difference between organic and not organic produce in the US?
>>21786661Mostly use of insecticides
>>21784835We should honestly be living this way.
>>21784934Fakest shit I’ve ever seen
>>21784748Aren't these exactly the type of guys you want if you're living on a farm with 1800s technology? Each one is as strong as an ox
