some Amish groups do wear button and some do not. The entire  reason I 
brought it up is because  what one person believes is OK   another will be 
vehemently opposed to even within the same group. This is  true whether we are 
talking 
about pig fat or buttons or salt in CS.
 
This forum is vital to air all sides  and to discuss openly. We talk  about 
strange things here. Things that are outside the norm. Some of the topics  
discussed here are deeply held beliefs regarding health and wellness. The logic 
 
of them is not always clear but never the less they are deeply felt. Pig fat is 
 one of them and I was pointing that out.

Hmmmm.  The Amish  crew that spent the summer working on my house wore 
clothes with  buttons.  At least I thought they did -- perhaps I didn't pay 
close  
enough attention!!     MA
