    Amish in the News: Amish have less asthma? And Expecting Amish Falls Flat?

    Published: Jul 21, 2014 · Updated: Jul 21, 2014 by Kevin Williams | 1 Comment

    Two Amish in the News articles today, one fun, one medical.   The medical one first.

    AMISH AND ASTHMA: There are some studies that point to the Amish having lower incidences of asthma.  But does this point to a genetic warding off of asthma or a lifestyle shield of sorts? Or perhaps both?  Click here to read the article.

    Expecting_Amish_AJ_Michalka-490x409EXPECTING AMISH:   I will confess to not watching this Lifetime movie.  Ever since Aster came into our lives I feel like our TV watching has gone down to virtually nothing.  I may turn on the TV and catch a few innings of the occasional Reds game.  But the time or energy to sit and watch an entire movie?  Nah.  Not going to happen.   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).  After reading the review I'm not sorry I missed the movie, it seems like the premise is pretty unlikely.  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."  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?

    Kevin Williams - The Amish Editor Amish Cook Column

    Hi There, I'm Kevin!

    Welcome to Amish365, where I share my knowledge of Amish cooking and culture! I’ve spent almost three decades exploring Amish settlements and kitchens from Maine to Montana and almost everywhere in between. I’ll occasionally throw in stories of my travels, journalism adventures (I’m a Pulitzer prize-nominated journalist), fascination with grocery stores and Kmarts, and much more!
