weirdly I remember one of the popular “life among the amish” books talks about them eating tons of sugar cereal

I'm a bit confuzzled by this. Am I misunderstanding Amish permissible of buying sugar cereal from a store? I would have expected that to be completely haram.

this shatters my illusion as the Amish as trying to practice some form of "self-sufficiency" in any meaningful sense.

I think they’re actually pretty interesting and successful in how they pick and choose

i never got the impression the Amish were concerned about self-sufficiency, just lifestyle congruence. like it doesn't matter to them if a 2x4 was manufactured with a neural network hyperlathe as long as they don't have to have a neural network hyperlathe to use it

this is what I mean by illusion shattering. I'm getting that that's what they're really doing, but I can't it into my head why that that is what they're really doing. The previous model (now shattered) had some consistency to it. Don't understand this one.

Their sacredness doesn't revolve around food ingredient choices. Nutritionism is a different, highly popular, faith.
