A lot of people don't realize it, but the Pagans are thick in SW Lancaster County.
Pa dutch food is exceptional and will cause high degrees of weight gain in a short amount of time.
It's designed for men who do twelve hours or more of demaning physical labor a day. The Amish now grow tobacco, and they put in every plant by hand - acres of it.
Now THAT's some hard work (especially at harvest time). Only thing harder on the hands is cotton (and nobody does that by hand anymore, as far as I know).
