The Amish can be vegetarians if they want to be since they grow their own food. However it is unlikely that many would choose to be because they produce their own food and are thus tied to the seasonal availability of anything they cannot preserve.

How do Amish people tell time?
The Amish are not allowed to use watches. They are a functional item but threaten the values of community togetherness (this is usually a value that items are checked against when bishops discuss its allowance). Watches are a way for Amish individuals to check the time, and as such, support "rush" and hurry. These contradict the value of Gelassenheit, which encourages yielding and a slow lifestyle. Reflection has nothing to do with the item. In fact Amish individuals are allowed to own mirrors in their homes, they are just usually fewer and smaller.

The Amish will most likely drive a horse and buggies or even on bicycles. Only few Amish own cars.
