The biggest thing here (read between the lines, folks) is that the Amish don't poison their food with petroleum based products, phthalates and phosphates as is commanded by the FDA, EPA, and Farm Bureaus. That is the real reason why they're being targeted.
When it comes to the size of the Amish community and their farms, in relation to the mega farms under the FDA, EPA, and Farm Bureau purviews, it's a literal drop in the bucket. And most, if not all Amish produced foods aren't sold in "traditional" supermarkets, it's sold at the Amish farms direct to the public. The best part is, you can pick the foods yourself.
I remember growing up in Miami in the 70-80's, going to the Amish Farm down near Cutler Ridge area and spending the afternoon picking fruits and veggies with my grandparents and cousins and gorging myself on their milkshakes, slushies, and cinnamon rolls (the size of dinner plates). I don't know if it's still there, but those are some of my fondest memories.
