I have a question maybe you can answer it. Aren't Amish "anti" technology for a lack of a better term. But they seem to have digital chashregister etc. Do they accept technology in their markets where they have non Amish customers for convenience or are they less strict than I thought. I'm not from the US so I never met an Amish and only know how they are portrayed in media.
@@marving.8868 there are Amish that will use technology to an extent, mostly in the commercial arena, like this market. The roadside stands you see, at least in PA, are cash only.

Community economics is the bread and butter of creating wealth among the entire populace. Not necessarily riches, just wealth. This is why people typically pay less for housing in housing coops, get more financial services for less with credit unions, and entire communities working as an economic unit can create wealth from small inputs, such as "Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When workers shop local, those business owners spend their money locally, and a self reinforcing cycle continues. Much of America's wealth is being drained into the Hamptons by companies like Walmart, Amazon, Dollar General, etc. This isn't to say that the money can't flow there eventually, it's just that it is not getting time to circulate before ending up there, like an area that receives plenty of rainfall but does not capture it and let it soak in the soil, so the plants remain starved of water despite getting what should be adequate rainfall.
@@TheSpecialJ11 That's true. And as the video said: "Humble Leadership." Greed, Dishonesty, and Head Games are usually something that the Amish would banish people for. Hence why cooperation is easier, among their Community.
The Amish are exploited by Marxists as an example of socialism. However, the Amish are the antithesis of leftism. Each family is an independent self determining unit, and communities are run democratically, not by some ideological a-holes who want you to give them all your money because they know how to spend it fairer.
@@helicart I've never had that presented as a defense before. A family is a collective barely bigger than the individual so that defense is rather pathetic
@@chrisallum9044 would you prefer the communal hierarchy within Papua New Guinea or Australian Aboriginal tribes, as supportive of socialism? Either of which is not socialism at all. If it was, then neighboring tribes would have seen the benefits of ever large cooperative groups.....but they didn't. They continued to war with each other. Socialism's failure is due to homo sapien sapien's inability to care equally for individuals within groups larger than 30-50, as smaller. And we see that in advanced economies. The larger the group of people govt is responsible for, the less efficient govt is at measuring relative need.
It also helps to have a whole community of like minded people who help each other. There are a lot of hard working people out there that start businesses and fail. You will be much more successful if you have business connections, let alone a whole community that is willing to help you from top to bottom. Meaning they will supply you with everything you need to start the business and will become a consumer as well. A good example of this is the Jewish community.
@@rks5457 actually that would be worse in business model because if you are obliged to buy from someone to help him almost always isn't going to be a good deal for you.
@@filipelimartins what are you talking about? If a product or service is of lesser quality of course one would not be obligated to buy. If the product/service is equal to or better than similar choices then the deciding factor might be where the money is going. It's the same thing as buying goods made in your own country, state or city. It keeps the money circulating in your community. Basic economics.

Yes and no. The incest is not so good. Scary genetic mutations that exist only in Amish world. They won’t even use généalogies to determine if it’s a bad genetic match.

Tyler it’s common in other parts of the world to use bidets. It’s not very common in America and many people don’t know what it is so it makes sense if you didn’t know it. I didn’t until a few years ago when my friend got one as a gift 😂
It's more than just "hard work" and "valuing people." The Amish do not abuse credit. They believe in saving until they have enough cash to move forward. They also know the WISDOM of helping each other in their "community" - especially those who are down on their luck. Yet let's not be so quick to make them human idols. Very few Amish will fight for their country and carry a rifle and ammo for that very purpose, nor serve as policemen. They let the "advanced types" of society do that type of messy stuff.

@@Jackson-mi3dr why do you think the Amish succeed? They value profit and maximize profitability by offering good products, at a good price whilst keeping their costs lower and offering good service. While the richer get richer, the poorer class is significantly richer and better than they were 50 years ago. Poor people in America have access to clean water, have smartphones, TV's, can shop at stores like Walmart and buy good on Amazon cheaper.

@@ren2871 First off, I was thinking globally, in which my previous comment still stands valid. And even still, adequate food water and sanitation is not ubiquitous across the US. I don’t agree with any of your statement, it was very generalizing. I bet if you sat across the table from a poor person they might tell you a lot different. And yes the government greed and inefficiency is a huge factor
@@Jackson-mi3dr Do you really believe that money just sits there untouched? It is used for investments and charities, aswell as goods and services, which create a market for them. If I'm rich and want a luxury jet, people have to extract the metals from the ground, transport them, refine them, transport them, then use them for the final product. But some of those metals split off to go to another chain in the production. All that is just 1 of the many product chains required for my jet. You can't boil down complex economies to "just a billion dollars lying around".
@@jellyfishi_ I read about how the amount of food being wasted in the US alone can feed the entire world. It’s incredibly idiotic thing that although I partially blame the government with their quotas and subsidies, the food culture here is also to blame. People want perfect looking produce and even fewer consume all edible parts of livestock.
Charles Kobold I wish you lots of success. Amish are on the ball. We used to go to an English feed store. The daughter was watching TV in the office. Make sure you have no TV. An Amish feed store started up, it has grown and grown. The English one seems to hang on. It has excellent location, but is not on the ball.
Reagan Hutchins they’re comparing an English (normal) feed mill, with an Amish feed mill that opened after the English one did. The Amish typically call us English.
Hard work & lack of caring about competition in materialistic items. Amish is a perfect example about how working hard, having a moral compass & family unit's intact is a recipe for success.
@Liberalism is a disease Lobotomies are the cure No? If you've been doing a job for multiple years someone completely new to the profession isn't "competition" unless you do your job poorly.

@@shroomer8294 . . . That's just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The only difference between a "religion" and a "cult" is the number of adherents they have. Of ALL the Christian religions, though, the Amish are probably most closely aligned with the actual teachings of Christ: simplicity, pacifism, personal responsibility and hard work, generosity, concern for community, devotion to family. As an offshoot of the Anabaptists (which means NOT Baptists), they are decidedly loathe to proselytize, believing that one's relationship to God is a personal matter.
masterji masterji *pedophile rape is quite common among Amish.* And the “punishment” is just 2-4 weeks of shunning, and the rapist get right back to fucking their sisters, grandchildren, daughters etc... some Amish towns have teenage boys just boast casually about which little sister they raped for fun, like it’s nothing. The women just take it becuz all of Amish prayer is demonizing the outer world becuz their Swiss-american ancestors were actually killed and persecuted 100s years ago. Hence they believe it’s worse to go to a police and report crimes from their community, becuz outside world = evil.
Incest is big they have a lot genetic problems I learned that in biology class just like gulf Arabs and Pakistanis and a lot of the Muslim world marrying your cousin is not scientifically a good practice yet God approves funny ain't it.
I worked at a lumber mill years ago and we had a few Amish guys that worked there. Every so often, their wives would send them in with donuts for everybody. They were the best donuts I think I've ever had, but each one was probably 5,000 calories. The Amish work their asses off. They need those calories. I just got fat. :)
They're food really does taste better.I was in Amish town in Ohio and they had a restaurant where the meat didn't have hormones,all grass fed,and it really does taste better.I love the Amish way of life!!
Jeff Meltzer you are very miss informed they live all over the country. in fact there is a group of them that live in the south. do some research before commenting.
Amish people don't cook with ingredients of any higher quality than anyone else as a rule. They shop in bulk at Aldi near me for sugar and flour and eggs and that's what they're baking with. The same stuff you are. Some also smoke heavily and don't take care of their teeth. Some look for any way they can to get around their religious restrictions just like other orthodox groups tend to do. Some are also known to treat their livestock horribly . Seriously, anyone who "loves the Amish lifestyle" is thinking of an idealized version of reality. They're just people. They're no purer or better or harder working than any other group in general. If they didn't have such "quaint" clothing and horse drawn buggies, you'd think of them differently. You'd see they're people plain and simple some of whom are kind and some are not. Some are friendly and some are not. Some are healthy and some are not.
Apparently an Amish community (30 ish) is the scientific limit of the number of people someone can hold in their memory. Ipso-facto, a natural community balance in microcosm.
@Great Lakes Government forced socialism is horrible. Only useless dregs who need welfare to survive want that. However a tight community looking out for one another is not socialism. Its called a group effort to uphold a high standard of living. A group of people making sacrifices to ensure its children do not suffer. A continuing network of connections, friends and wealth that will be passed onto future generations to come. And they didnt need Jewish banking or government to accomplish this!
As a girl, most of my family lived in or near Sturgeon MO. I remember my Aunt Kay was making her own graduation dress. We travel way down into the country and down a dirt road to a small wooden building. It was an Amish fabric store. I had never seen such beautiful fabric in my life💕 We were friends of many Amish as well. 🙏
I have lived in Lancaster, PA for a year. I loved my time there. I used to go to their little business on their farms to buy fresh produce, eggs, and chicken as well. Amish people are some of the nicest, sweetest, loving people I have met. In fact, I was just there this past weekend when I was in PA. They are just phenomenal. Love them!
I've been to this market before! Love the cheese log rolls and the furniture. It's successful because it has good food that's home made, in a clean establishment with friendly service. This is one thing I miss from home.
They serve man and women alike by doing ordinary servicing in an extraordinary way. Take care of yourself during this time of reflecting on how much you love family.
Its because they live in relatively isolated communities. Like here in Canada the virus spread most quickly along the coasts and in the largest province Ontario. There are far less people in the Prairies and far less people travel there from abroad. Like in B.C., Quebec and Ontario there were like between 100 to 300 new cases a day. In each province in the Prairies pit was just a dozen or so a day. However now in B.C., Ontario and Quebec its going up to several thousand new cases a day while in the Prairies its going up to several hundred a day (I dom't know how the Territories or the Maritimes are faring.)
"There's an emphasis on humility, and being a humble leader... and I think that has a lot to do with the longevity and productivity they get out of their employees." I think some politicians can take a lesson.
I am retired Army. The military pushes its soldiers to wake early, dedicate to the mission, and do so until it is accomplished, yet, without that daily discipline and routine, most would accomplish very little on their own. The Amish work a daily routine, but their discipline is more personal.
No, hard-working puppy-mill owners. This little video clip is monstrously misrepresentative of the way most Amish make their money. Lancaster County is the puppy mill capital of the U.S., and what most people don't know is that the Amish dominate the trade.
Cassandra Chaya Khan What is the percentage of puppy mill owners among the Amish? And by puppy mill I mean cages upon cages of animals, not the 1-2 dogs kept as pets with the added benefit of having puppies once a year. I think you grossly exaggerate the amount of puppy mills in the Amish, especially considering construction and farming are by far the leading occupations of the Amish.
@yagbos you ok though?! Your comment reads like you’ve been doing meth, it’s just *all* over the place and makes no sense, and you also sound really hateful to a group of people who are making an honest living... maybe dry out or something before you start to criticise others based on their religious beliefs...
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Amish "take pride" in anything. I think pride is one of the things their beliefs forbid. Even in regular christianity it's one of "the seven deadly sins"
I live close to an Amish town and shop at their feed stores, grocery's, produce markets, and green houses. I can/do buy their NON-GMO feeds for my animals, flour, butter, spices, jams, noodles, medicinal herbs, and seedlings from heirloom seed. Their prices are better than big box stores and much higher quality. The people are friendly, helpful, Polite and generous.
non gmo. potatoes are gmo. corn is gmo. bananas extreme gmo strawberries gmo these are all gmo. we started selective breeding things before we even knew about genetics. EVERYTHING is GMO. gmo≠bad. usually just for the bit larger, the tastier, ones with more offspring, ones that grow in that season, that grow in that other season. etc. we started with it so long ago. it isn't unhealthy but with patotoes and bananas especially, since they are all mostly clones of each other, they are vulnerable. because one disease can while them all out. bananas are going extinct. the ones as you know them at least.
Editing this, was to long. Selective breeding to take seeds out of bananas, etc... Fine. Making corn produce it's own insecticide. Making cabbage produce some sort of scorpion venom... Making a banana that has a built in vaccine... How do you selectively breed a scorpion with a cabbage, or corn with bt-toxin??? Those don't sound so great to me.
Pretac Witter They genetically modify them in labs. Inserting characteristics of other fruits/veggies to change their resistance to disease and insects. Nevermind it alters the nutritional value, increases the fruictose (sugar) and then they splice in the Chemicals to ward off insects. Insects pollinate and allow it to grow. The chemicals Kill the insects. That means Natural pollination can't be done. The chemicals that erradicate weeds (unwanted vegetation) also kill the microbes and insects/worms that keep soil healthy and feed the plants. MONSANTO IS CAUSING FOOD SHORTAGES AS A RESULT OF THEIR MEDDELING. They also got laws passed that makes it illegal to grow any seed that hasn't been so treated and if wind pollinates a farmers NON-GMO crops he can be sued or fined for "mislabeling" crops since they are No Longer "pure". Roundup poisons the soil which means you have to use chemical fertilizers. Then the soil is depleted of nutruients. IT's VICIOUS what they've done for GREED.
@The Uncannie1 Oh I know... I was kind of joking around about breeding insects with vegetables to make a point that it isn't natural. Once they start fooling around in the lab to modify/mix/combine I get very suspicious of that. I don't think they know the long term effects of what they are doing... Well they probably do know actually. Now if you have a bunch of strawberry plants and selectively save the seeds from the plants that only produce larger strawberries or whatever trait you want and keep working towards that slowly over the years I'm ok with that.
I mean I definitely agree that there needs to be some kind of state control and ethical control with GMO - but GMO is basically used in SO MANY life saving situations. Growing insulin is GMO. Domestication, as you're talking about, is not. While I am no scientist, I certainly do think that (controlled) GMOs will save humanity. We are facing a HUGE food crisis right now alongside enviromental crisis such as mass droughts. With domestication and selective breeding, you're not guaranteed plants with higher yields or a smaller water need. If you use GMO methods you're basically CERTAIN that your desired outcome will also be what your plants will produce. And yes there are certainly fears such as "are we exterminating bees?" or "are we poisoning ourselves?" and the answers are basically no. 1) we have full control over GMO which means that we can be certain there are no carcinogens in our food and 2) the poisons that have been tried and seen as succesful as insecticides are completely harmless to any kind of human - think like alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, nicotine etc. etc. According to my research, the tried out insecticide was actually tailored to the body of the certain kind of pest that was destroying crops - which means even if a person was the same size as the insect, we wouldn't feel the poison since it would go straight through us. So it's good to have some healthy scepticism but GMOs have been tested for many many many years and the results are that there are no short-term or long-term effects of it.

They will only use modern technology if it is absolutely necessary. The local governments require receipts and to avoid lawsuits for accidental tax fraud they will need to use those registers. They do not see modern tech for producing the food a necessity. A similar sovereign religious group descended from German colonists in South Dakota , The Hutterites, have the most advanced farming technology available. They however do not have TVs or other forms of media and are communist within their colonies. Many hutterites that leave the colony return back after receiving their first pay checks as it is a huge culture shock to them.
In my hometown whenever the Amish arrived with their baked goods and food, everyone would buy all of their goods within hours. The bread was always so tasty and the fruits so fresh. It was the best quality food we could find anywhere.
Ego sum homo vespertilionem it also helps that children are considered slave labor and are paid in dinner and a bed for a full time job after they're forced to quit school in 8th grade.
Ego sum homo vepsertilionem--I have family members who own a chain of restaurants in Lancaster County. Most of their vegetables, eggs, milk, etc. came from Amish farms. I spent a summer working with my family between college years and going to the farms to pick up items the restaurant needed. The Amish I met were kind, hard-working, dedicated to high quality produce and dairy products, loving parents, and intensely curious about why a 21 year old wasn't married with a family and was still in school. In the mid-20th century, the PA Amish won a suit brought by the Commonwealth to require their children to stay in school until age 16. The Amish contended that their children didn't need more than an 8th grade education to run their farms and "cottage" businesses. Today, it is much more common to see Amish girls and boys in high school than it was back then.
Ego- Actually it's because they are smart Capitalists who understand Capitalism. Capitalism is a just a economic system that allows people to keep what they earn,own private property, and sell good and services people want and need unlike in socialism or communism where the government steals from the producers and dictate what you can and cannot do , earn keep or buy.No other system compares to capitalism for improving the quality of life for society, individual people and allowing people to build wealth and keep wealth or get out of poverty. Capitalism is the best by far!
I lived in Michigan on the Indiana border in this area there were three different Amish sects as they were alike in most ways, but they were also different as well. Highly proficient in woodworking true craft men.
Either I was in Ohio or NC. And I saw Amish folks getting out of a taxi. And I called the need to yell at them & call them posers. I was young, forgive me.
its because they work hard, put customers first and almost always appreciate even one single penny you spend in there store. pretty common sense to me.
My wife and I drove 20 miles to shop at an Amish store. Everything was wonderful. The people were great to us always. Visited many stores in Lancaster County PA and it was the same.
I bought all of my foods from the Amish when I lived in Philadelphia, about an hour and a half away from Lancaster County PA. The Amish had several food stands at the Reading Terminal Market in downtown Philly, and I never missed those Friday and Saturday shopping trips. I love what the Amish do, and hope they will remain a strong presence wherever they choose to settle in this country.
If you go to Reading Terminal Market try Beiler's Amish donuts! They're the best. Me and my dad waited for about 40 minutes in line to get them right before Easter.
It's successful because they work hard and the whole family work for the good of them all. I think it's a good example of what people can achieve when working together.
They are very hard workers and can build most everything in a short period of time. The children are very polite and helpful. I enjoy every minute with these families.
Hopefully not. Only women and boomers want large salaries so they may spend their free time buying overpriced rocks, plastic and drugs. The family unit only needs food and shelter to survive
I would absolutely love to be where I could visit the Amish and also be a customer to their businesses. Anything the Amish do is of very high quality and great products. They are such beautiful loving wonderful people period.

DoppleQ well maybe because sugar is processed and not from their own farm. but they should've just done strawberry, pear, Apple or something Pie since they are naturally sweet. but organic doesn't necessarily mean healthier, and definetly not better for the enviorment. of all our food would be organic, we really, just would have a bjgger world hunger problem. because organic farms can grow a lot less, I learned that it was the only good thing, in a waldorf school. but thought. Even eith all the pollution, and chemicals in the ground. 100% organic doesn't really exist, Honey contains amounts of plastic ffs. (not that American Honey is Honey and not just corn syrup...)
Darci, That is until you have a chance to peek behind closed doors. Then you see what they don't let you see on the other side. Not saying they aren't hard working and good as long as you follow every rule set out and there are many right down to what kind of suspenders they are to wear.

Community economics is the bread and butter of creating wealth among the entire populace. Not necessarily riches, just wealth. This is why people typically pay less for housing in housing coops, get more financial services for less with credit unions, and entire communities working as an economic unit can create wealth from small inputs, such as "Black Wall Street" in Tulsa, Oklahoma. When workers shop local, those business owners spend their money locally, and a self reinforcing cycle continues. Much of America's wealth is being drained into the Hamptons by companies like Walmart, Amazon, Dollar General, etc. This isn't to say that the money can't flow there eventually, it's just that it is not getting time to circulate before ending up there, like an area that receives plenty of rainfall but does not capture it and let it soak in the soil, so the plants remain starved of water despite getting what should be adequate rainfall.

However, the Amish are the antithesis of leftism.
Each family is an independent self determining unit, and communities are run democratically, not by some ideological a-holes who want you to give them all your money because they know how to spend it fairer.
But aren't you glad it did?
@@helicart I've never had that presented as a defense before. A family is a collective barely bigger than the individual so that defense is rather pathetic
@@chrisallum9044
would you prefer the communal hierarchy within Papua New Guinea or Australian Aboriginal tribes, as supportive of socialism?
Either of which is not socialism at all. If it was, then neighboring tribes would have seen the benefits of ever large cooperative groups.....but they didn't. They continued to war with each other. Socialism's failure is due to homo sapien sapien's inability to care equally for individuals within groups larger than 30-50, as smaller. And we see that in advanced economies. The larger the group of people govt is responsible for, the less efficient govt is at measuring relative need.
This bigger question is, why do I continue to click on and watch these random videos
My brethren of the algorithm, see you in 8 years once again
Until we meet again. Farewell

Because they work hard and don’t get involved in BS.
They do it with heart and not get. mb
It also helps to have a whole community of like minded people who help each other. There are a lot of hard working people out there that start businesses and fail. You will be much more successful if you have business connections, let alone a whole community that is willing to help you from top to bottom. Meaning they will supply you with everything you need to start the business and will become a consumer as well. A good example of this is the Jewish community.
Such a simple concept yet for some reason is treated as some kind of mystery
@@rks5457 actually that would be worse in business model because if you are obliged to buy from someone to help him almost always isn't going to be a good deal for you.
@@filipelimartins what are you talking about? If a product or service is of lesser quality of course one would not be obligated to buy. If the product/service is equal to or better than similar choices then the deciding factor might be where the money is going. It's the same thing as buying goods made in your own country, state or city. It keeps the money circulating in your community. Basic economics.
They are hardworking and living simple, that’s why they are successful.

So the secret here is “ work hard and value people” who would have thought of that.
It's more than just "hard work" and "valuing people." The Amish do not abuse credit. They believe in saving until they have enough cash to move forward. They also know the WISDOM of helping each other in their "community" - especially those who are down on their luck.
Yet let's not be so quick to make them human idols. Very few Amish will fight for their country and carry a rifle and ammo for that very purpose, nor serve as policemen. They let the "advanced types" of society do that type of messy stuff.

@@jellyfishi_ absolutely 💯💯💯 our capitalist economy creates BILLIONAIRES, further widening the inequality gap each year. Meanwhile the poor stay poor. For what reason does anyone need a billion dollars that sits untouched while there are people starving , without water; and without sanitation? So fucking wrong
@@Jackson-mi3dr why do you think the Amish succeed? They value profit and maximize profitability by offering good products, at a good price whilst keeping their costs lower and offering good service. While the richer get richer, the poorer class is significantly richer and better than they were 50 years ago. Poor people in America have access to clean water, have smartphones, TV's, can shop at stores like Walmart and buy good on Amazon cheaper. Whilst there are many greedy people out there, what is your solution? Do you think government is not greedy?
@@ren2871 First off, I was thinking globally, in which my previous comment still stands valid. And even still, adequate food water and sanitation is not ubiquitous across the US.
I don’t agree with any of your statement, it was very generalizing. I bet if you sat across the table from a poor person they might tell you a lot different. And yes the government greed and inefficiency is a huge factor
@@Jackson-mi3dr Do you really believe that money just sits there untouched? It is used for investments and charities, aswell as goods and services, which create a market for them. If I'm rich and want a luxury jet, people have to extract the metals from the ground, transport them, refine them, transport them, then use them for the final product. But some of those metals split off to go to another chain in the production. All that is just 1 of the many product chains required for my jet. You can't boil down complex economies to "just a billion dollars lying around".
@@jellyfishi_ I read about how the amount of food being wasted in the US alone can feed the entire world. It’s incredibly idiotic thing that although I partially blame the government with their quotas and subsidies, the food culture here is also to blame.

@@shroomer8294 . . . That's just about the stupidest thing I've ever heard. The only difference between a "religion" and a "cult" is the number of adherents they have.

As an offshoot of the Anabaptists (which means NOT Baptists), they are decidedly loathe to proselytize, believing that one's relationship to God is a personal matter.

Jeff Meltzer you are very miss informed they live all over the country. in fact there is a group of them that live in the south. do some research before commenting.
Amish people don't cook with ingredients of any higher quality than anyone else as a rule. They shop in bulk at Aldi near me for sugar and flour and eggs and that's what they're baking with. The same stuff you are. Some also smoke heavily and don't take care of their teeth. Some look for any way they can to get around their religious restrictions just like other orthodox groups tend to do. Some are also known to treat their livestock horribly . Seriously, anyone who "loves the Amish lifestyle" is thinking of an idealized version of reality. They're just people. They're no purer or better or harder working than any other group in general. If they didn't have such "quaint" clothing and horse drawn buggies, you'd think of them differently. You'd see they're people plain and simple some of whom are kind and some are not.

@Great Lakes Government forced socialism is horrible. Only useless dregs who need welfare to survive want that. However a tight community looking out for one another is not socialism.

I live close to an Amish town and shop at their feed stores, grocery's, produce markets, and green houses. I can/do buy their NON-GMO feeds for my animals, flour, butter, spices, jams, noodles, medicinal herbs, and seedlings from heirloom seed.

non gmo.
potatoes are gmo.
corn is gmo.
bananas extreme gmo
strawberries gmo
these are all gmo. we started selective breeding things before we even knew about genetics.
EVERYTHING is GMO.
gmo≠bad.
usually just for the bit larger, the tastier, ones with more offspring, ones that grow in that season, that grow in that other season.
etc.
we started with it so long ago. it isn't unhealthy
but with patotoes and bananas especially, since they are all mostly clones of each other, they are vulnerable. because one disease can while them all out. bananas are going extinct. the ones as you know them at least.
Editing this, was to long.
Selective breeding to take seeds out of bananas, etc... Fine.
Making corn produce it's own insecticide.
Making cabbage produce some sort of scorpion venom...
Making a banana that has a built in vaccine...
How do you selectively breed a scorpion with a cabbage, or corn with bt-toxin???
Those don't sound so great to me.
Pretac Witter They genetically modify them in labs. Inserting characteristics of other fruits/veggies to change their resistance to disease and insects. Nevermind it alters the nutritional value, increases the fruictose (sugar) and then they splice in the Chemicals to ward off insects.
Insects pollinate and allow it to grow. The chemicals Kill the insects. That means Natural pollination can't be done. The chemicals that erradicate weeds (unwanted vegetation) also kill the microbes and insects/worms that keep soil healthy and feed the plants.
MONSANTO IS CAUSING FOOD SHORTAGES AS A RESULT OF THEIR MEDDELING. They also got laws passed that makes it illegal to grow any seed that hasn't been so treated and if wind pollinates a farmers NON-GMO crops he can be sued or fined for "mislabeling" crops since they are No Longer "pure". Roundup poisons the soil which means you have to use chemical fertilizers. Then the soil is depleted of nutruients. IT's VICIOUS what they've done for GREED.
@The Uncannie1
Oh I know... I was kind of joking around about breeding insects with vegetables to make a point that it isn't natural.
Once they start fooling around in the lab to modify/mix/combine I get very suspicious of that. I don't think they know the long term effects of what they are doing... Well they probably do know actually.
Now if you have a bunch of strawberry plants and selectively save the seeds from the plants that only produce larger strawberries or whatever trait you want and keep working towards that slowly over the years I'm ok with that.
I mean I definitely agree that there needs to be some kind of state control and ethical control with GMO - but GMO is basically used in SO MANY life saving situations. Growing insulin is GMO. Domestication, as you're talking about, is not.
While I am no scientist, I certainly do think that (controlled) GMOs will save humanity. We are facing a HUGE food crisis right now alongside enviromental crisis such as mass droughts. With domestication and selective breeding, you're not guaranteed plants with higher yields or a smaller water need. If you use GMO methods you're basically CERTAIN that your desired outcome will also be what your plants will produce.
And yes there are certainly fears such as "are we exterminating bees?" or "are we poisoning ourselves?" and the answers are basically no. 1) we have full control over GMO which means that we can be certain there are no carcinogens in our food and 2) the poisons that have been tried and seen as succesful as insecticides are completely harmless to any kind of human - think like alcohol, caffeine, chocolate, nicotine etc. etc. According to my research, the tried out insecticide was actually tailored to the body of the certain kind of pest that was destroying crops - which means even if a person was the same size as the insect, we wouldn't feel the poison since it would go straight through us.
So it's good to have some healthy scepticism but GMOs have been tested for many many many years and the results are that there are no short-term or long-term effects of it.
I always go to the Amish market near me. They're food is so much better.
Ang Jo: Only if you don't know how to cook.
You must be fat?
just below this comment someone wrongly use "their" instead of "they're"
Even better than organic food I guess :) No machines involved, only hand crafted as in the old days
I like farmers market, they are similar. We actually have one place where we can go to buy Amish food.
they are cash only, dont pay taxes or only on a portion of sales, all the employees are family/children dont receive wages...
edit: not a single fact is presented in this video as to why these businesses are successful...
The Amish are good, hearty, hardworking people. I’ve visited Amish country in MD before and it’s like taking a breath of fresh air. I can’t imagine the strength it takes to maintain such a way of life in the chaotic modern world that surrounds them.
I love the wholesomeness of that baker lady, she was so excited about operating their own bakery she bragged about baking 11 pies and thinking she would be done for the week, but sold them all that day and had to make more tomorrow.
It’s those kind of conversations that give you some insight at how the Amish go about their day.
@@sanmedina Your co-workers you’ve become friends with will surely miss you but the operation of the company will more than likely continue mostly unhindered, and that is the sad truth about most jobs nowadays. We don’t have a real sense of importance with how easily replaced we are after we leave.
Maybe simply starting a new community like the Amish are capable of doing is the way we should consider approaching life but that also entails many drawbacks such as luxuries of life.
They don't cut corners. Every thing is FRESH,GOOD QUALITY
Bullshit.
My parents bought a table from an Amish carpenter over 20 years ago in northern Indiana. Extremely well made table. The Amish live simply and work very hard, so it’s no surprise they do well.
I’m not gonna lie. I’ve always wanted to intern in an Amish community, just to learn basic skills. I think it’s commendable
They work hard, use quality ingredients, care about their customers and produce a great product. That's all you need to succeed in any business.
They look very nice and kind, i see hardworking people with values, and their stores look very clean⚘🌹
They work hard, don't pay as many taxes, and don't buy pointless crap.
Spellcaster86 it's not like our school system is anything to brag about anyways. All we are taught is to pay into the corrupt system.
biff322 Actually no, they go to school up until the 8th grade. The rest of the US can drop out at 16
Spellcaster86 For some reason, they're still doing better than the average public school graduate
Spellcaster86 Why can the government regulate their schooling system?
Because they don't give them money. The US Government controls public scholls with money.
Because they make things and offer services that people want. Simple as that.
Hard work and dedication. Teach your kids and they will be successful too.
Michigan Dutch Amish are cool and innovative and more so, honest
Who of us can ever forget “The Witness, movie with Harrison Ford”,and how we wanted to be Amish after that.
That was a fantastic movie and that was Dustin hoffman
@@fatman6660 haha no, it was Harrison Ford and Kelly McGillis.
I live by the Amish. They are lovely people but no never wanted to be them
@@oldbluewitch3386 Do you not long for a simpler life with no environmental impact, no processed food, children brought up without all the tech and consumerism. But I’d like to be left alone the community is too pushy for me.
@@oldbluewitch3386 I never heard they had phones or electricity.
I can answer that in two words, HARD WORK!!!!
pretty much what nearly everyone did before 1950
The industrial revolution ended in 1840, so it's a little while before 20th century
Yip, I got nothing but admiration for the Amish community. Hard work, honesty and community spirit all the way.
If I could give up my frig and TV, I would pack my bags right now.
Oh, like slavery. Got it.
@@Kube_Dog Isn't everything like slavery? You're a slave to your parents as a child and as an adult you're a slave to your employer, your way of life, and the government.
@@anthonythorp7291 Metaphorically, sure. But the Amish life is much closer to literal slavery. I understand the wish to find an "authentic" way of life, but the Amish way is just hard and restrictive.
@@Kube_Dog I don't know much about it so I'll take you word for it. Thanks for commenting.
I dealt with Amish people before they're honest they're straightforward and they're very helpful I can't remember the Amish family that help me but I know they were led by the most high their daughters were decent and pure the sons were strong and brave wherever you are I thank you for your kindness without you I would have never made it back to Ohio my wife my baby and myself
I love and respect Amish..all my life.
I whish I lived next door to these fine and noble people.
Well... They're nice and stuff. But I live by some. And they're kind of pushy w/ religion so there's that. They prob low key think I'm the devil's child
They work so hard! Taking notes 😍❤️
not spending your profits on electronics helps too
Or coffee or sugar or candy or anything . LOL they have no expenses .
A young Amish boy asked his father why their community isn't affected by Covid....the father responded saying it's because we don't have radio or television.
me completely minding my business watching car reviews
youtube: Amish store
So they have horse pulled buggies and use electronic cash registers. Nice, very nice.
i think its for tax purposes.. receipts and all
If you take away our advanced technology we are not all that different.
Many Amish use electricity... as long as it’s not connected to public power grids.
I've never met a real amish person that is ok being on camera also ...
They will only use modern technology if it is absolutely necessary. The local governments require receipts and to avoid lawsuits for accidental tax fraud they will need to use those registers. They do not see modern tech for producing the food a necessity.
A similar sovereign religious group descended from German colonists in South Dakota , The Hutterites, have the most advanced farming technology available. They however do not have TVs or other forms of media and are communist within their colonies. Many hutterites that leave the colony return back after receiving their first pay checks as it is a huge culture shock to them.
In my hometown whenever the Amish arrived with their baked goods and food, everyone would buy all of their goods within hours. The bread was always so tasty and the fruits so fresh. It was the best quality food we could find anywhere.
This warms my
Sometimes working hard and not trying to rip off the customer on a daily basis pays off
Because they work hard, produce quality products, and they don't subscribe to the quick buck theory of capitalism.
Ego sum homo vespertilionem it also helps that children are considered slave labor and are paid in dinner and a bed for a full time job after they're forced to quit school in 8th grade.
Ego sum homo vepsertilionem--I have family members who own a chain of restaurants in Lancaster County. Most of their vegetables, eggs, milk, etc. came from Amish farms. I spent a summer working with my family between college years and going to the farms to pick up items the restaurant needed. The Amish I met were kind, hard-working, dedicated to high quality produce and dairy products, loving parents, and intensely curious about why a 21 year old wasn't married with a family and was still in school. In the mid-20th century, the PA Amish won a suit brought by the Commonwealth to require their children to stay in school until age 16. The Amish contended that their children didn't need more than an 8th grade education to run their farms and "cottage" businesses. Today, it is much more common to see Amish girls and boys in high school than it was back then.
foods made with love of their culture.And veggies grown with love from their fields. That's the right life to love. In my eyes, hard work begets life
Ego sum homo vespertilionem
She sold her shoofly pies pretty darn quick
Ego- Actually it's because they are smart Capitalists who understand Capitalism. Capitalism is a just a economic system that allows people to keep what they earn,own private property, and sell good and services people want and need unlike in socialism or communism where the government steals from the producers and dictate what you can and cannot do , earn keep or buy.No other system compares to capitalism for improving the quality of life for society, individual people and allowing people to build wealth and keep wealth or get out of poverty. Capitalism is the best by far!
I lived in Michigan on the Indiana border in this area there were three different Amish sects as they were alike in most ways, but they were also different as well. Highly proficient in woodworking true craft men.
Either I was in Ohio or NC. And I saw Amish folks getting out of a taxi. And I called the need to yell at them & call them posers. I was young, forgive me.
They don’t buy thousand dollar phones, $60k cars, or $10 starbucks. They realize they don’t need excess
Stupid comment.
@@Charlielinja why
You’re right! It’s May 2020 and I’m watching this
The Amish men grow a beard to show they are married.
its because they work hard, put customers first and almost always appreciate even one single penny you spend in there store. pretty common sense to me.
My wife and I drove 20 miles to shop at an Amish store. Everything was wonderful. The people were great to us always. Visited many stores in Lancaster County PA and it was the same.
Because organic brand captured all American marketing
And also they haven't to spend much money for employees wages
Very interestanting
Amish sense of forgiveness is something I’ll never forget.
You have heard of shunning, right? Not too forgiving there....
The Amish food is way better than regular crap you find in the grocery store.
I bought all of my foods from the Amish when I lived in Philadelphia, about an hour and a half away from Lancaster County PA. The Amish had several food stands at the Reading Terminal Market in downtown Philly, and I never missed those Friday and Saturday shopping trips. I love what the Amish do, and hope they will remain a strong presence wherever they choose to settle in this country.
If you go to Reading Terminal Market try Beiler's Amish donuts! They're the best. Me and my dad waited for about 40 minutes in line to get them right before Easter.
it's the best quality, that's why.
Because they practice Christian values.
They don't complain. They don't call themselves victims. They exalt good work ethics.
It's successful because they work hard and the whole family work for the good of them all. I think it's a good example of what people can achieve when working together.
They are very hard workers and can build most everything in a short period of time. The children are very polite and helpful. I enjoy every minute with these families.
I bet they don't pay themselves outlandish salaries.
they are religious and very simple hard workers... good traits to have in very tough times
There is no need for money when you work as one . I admire you all staying true to your way of life.
Hopefully not. Only women and boomers want large salaries so they may spend their free time buying overpriced rocks, plastic and drugs. The family unit only needs food and shelter to survive
@@XJ9sodypop humans are sentient beings and deserve some fucking enjoyment
Nobody came here to see how dwight was raised? Cmon
Ik
I would absolutely love to be where I could visit the Amish and also be a customer to their businesses. Anything the Amish do is of very high quality and great products. They are such beautiful loving wonderful people period.
The Darci 13 I grew up with them, believe me the fairytale portrayal of the amish community is not accurate, there is a big drug problem within there society and alot of incest as well as all the other problems that come with being human...they arent any different from anyone else
DoppleQ well maybe because sugar is processed and not from their own farm. but they should've just done strawberry, pear, Apple or something Pie since they are naturally sweet.
but organic doesn't necessarily mean healthier, and definetly not better for the enviorment. of all our food would be organic, we really, just would have a bjgger world hunger problem. because organic farms can grow a lot less, I learned that it was the only good thing, in a waldorf school. but thought.
Even eith all the pollution, and chemicals in the ground. 100% organic doesn't really exist, Honey contains amounts of plastic ffs. (not that American Honey is Honey and not just corn syrup...)
The Darci 13 4
+Dutchik Blackberries are naturally sweet.
Darci, That is until you have a chance to peek behind closed doors. Then you see what they don't let you see on the other side. Not saying they aren't hard working and good as long as you follow every rule set out and there are many right down to what kind of suspenders they are to wear.
"Amish researcher"
Doesn't really seem like a growth industry.
Amish are increasing in numbers fast as they actually have alot of kids
The Amish population is actually exploding having doubled since 2000 and expanding into new areas, found in 30 states now
Is the fastest growing faith group in the USA
The entire Amish community and way of life depends upon the tranquility provided by society at large.
@@Ivan-ud1gr Pretty dumb comment considering it is the opposite. If the lights go out the Amish dont care, meanwhile you will see 95% of the urban population die within a month of no electricity.
@Jacko Sargs Maintain the sealanes shipmate.
I just adore the Amish people and yet I've never met them. I can't give out a shout out since I know they don't use the Internet but nevertheless greetings from UK.
