Two Amish in the News articles today, one fun, one medical. Â The medical one first.
AMISH AND ASTHMA: There are some studies that point to the Amish having lower incidences of asthma. Â But does this point to a genetic warding off of asthma or a lifestyle shield of sorts? Or perhaps both? Â Click here to read the article.
EXPECTING AMISH: Â I will confess to not watching this Lifetime movie. Â Ever since Aster came into our lives I feel like our TV watching has gone down to virtually nothing. Â I may turn on the TV and catch a few innings of the occasional Reds game. Â But the time or energy to sit and watch an entire movie? Â Nah. Â Not going to happen. Â So if you are like me this review gives you a pretty good recap (plenty of spoilers and the writer is a bit cheeky, so if that bothers you, don't read it). Â After reading the review I'm not sorry I missed the movie, it seems like the premise is pretty unlikely. Â Rumspringa is something that the mainstream media obsesses about, but in Amish culture it's not quite the big deal that it is in "media culture." Â Click here to read about the movie.

This was a very boring movie that I turned off half way through. Her father's
beard was terribly fake looking and really disgusted me. Is this the best they
can do in Hollywood?
