Most Amish I know are bright, aware, happily stuck in the past, quite healthy, secure, and wise (in a grandfatherly way, not an Alan Greenspa$m way). Easy targets, I guess.

Moving on… Over-constraining simplicity to exclude hunting is a straw man. It takes far less than an hour to gut a deer, feed the entrails to the chickens and get the meat stored.

Granted, the post was targeting the “simplicity movement”, whatever the hell that is, but simplicity itself? William of Ockham, Einstein, and Edward Deming would all agree it’s a virtue.
