I think they have a great life. maybe a hard working concept, but still more healthy. i wonder sense they do not eat much of the garbage we eat, processed food. what is the cancer rate in the Amish? just a thought.

won't this new found power enable the young Amish to be tempted by 'outsider' devilish delights? good luck to them, it's clean power and suits their clean living.I kind of admire them in a way...

@rockabye63 Its the same as it is in nonamish communities, you've been brainwashed.

Amish do use modern medicine in some towns... when they get fractures, cancer etc... I'm not sure how often or statistics, but would be interesting to hear the statistics

I appreciate their simple life and think we can learn a lot from Amish. i just wish they wouldn't abuse their horses who are often sent to Slaughter when they have worked them often to death or injuries they don't' want to fix. sad. I think Solor is perfect for Amish... relies on environment

we should all be so lucky to live a simple but dissplened way of life

Talk about hypocrites....

I wish I was Amish, you get to have HUGE feasts at the end of every day during the harvest and you can go anywhere you want at all without your parents having to know where you are. That would be pretty cool.

an actual question: what is the point of being amish if they're going to allow electricity?

and are they allowed to use modern medicine?
