The Amish eat with spoons instead of forks. -Isn't there any bifurcation in the Amish community you are part of? -There are forks, but they are not used or not to eat. -What are they for? -I don't know. -For you it was all spoons. You go to a restaurant. Are you trying to use your spoon on everything? -Yes, and then people told me: "You should use the fork." I was confused.

Why would you use a fork to eat? -Are you at all worried about sharing your experiences, knowing that someone in your community could hear what you are saying? -I have been sharing my experiences on YouTube and there have been negative reactions. I'm not too worried. I know where they come from. I'm going to bring the truth to light. -If there are any of those people watching right now in any way, is there anything you want to tell them? -Yes, get out. - -The Amish religion is a sect. Leave. Life is much better outside of it. -Don't you regret your part? -No. -Before continuing to learn about the world of the formerly Amish, air travel. -That first time, I hated it. -Scary? -I definitely thought I was in a different universe, like an alien flying across the earth. -I would like to thank our sponsor, BetterHelp, for our continued partnership.

Do you look down and realize you've been on Twitter for eight hours? -Yeah. Time goes by very quickly when you scroll on your phone. -I will list a piece of technology and I would like to know what your first reaction was when using said technology. Air travel? -That first time, I hated it. -Scary? -I definitely thought I was in a different universe, like an alien flying across the earth. - You're just sitting in a chair, traveling at 500 miles per hour. -That was horrible.

Things that come towards me. I say, "That's as far as I'll go with that." - Do you think that modern conveniences desensitize us to the small pleasures of life? In fact, I read a comment from Marina that says: "When you've never listened to the radio, your mother singing while washing the dishes sounds like the music of angels. When you've never watched television, your little sister's puppet show contains all the emotion of a heroic legend." Do you feel that is true? -Yes, I would say there is a lot of truth in that. We just missed all the simple quality when we have our noses stuck in the iPhone. -Yes, we are almost never allowed to be bored or sit with our thoughts. -Exactly. -Inés is a cupcake asks you what is the most special memory from your childhood that you think children today will never be able to experience considering modern technology. -Spend time in the countryside, enjoy the sun and not worry about anything. -Not having that obsession with what your likes are on Instagram, if you're going to be accepted into your school because you're not popular enough online or something? -I didn't have television growing up.

I didn't have a telephone. I didn't have that distraction. My childhood was very carefree. -Did "Weird" Al do anything right in his song Amish Paradise? -Yes, the whole song is right. - Not a single falsehood there? -I've watched that video over and over again and it always makes me laugh. - Do the Amish actually find it funny too? -It is funny. Some of that is correct. -Okay, you have five seconds to shout or promote whatever you want directly into the camera. Go. -Watch "The Amish Potato" on YouTube to see the rest of my story. -Find me on Instagram @katestoltz or on my website, katestoltz.com. -Runaway Amish Girl.
