Anybody know which food sage said he doesn't eat anything with more

Silly generalisation. The concept is that you don't eat factory
produced food with a list of processed food-like substances and
chemicals as long as your arm. The trouble is this leaves out a vast
amount of perfectly healthy home-cooked cuisine as well. How do you
make a good Indian curry with 5 ingredients?

:-)) Indeed. No curry with only 5 ingredients would be worth eating.

It's like the bloke (Polan?) who said don't eat any food your
grandmother had never heard of. The intent is good: to leave out all
those chemicals. My grandmother had never heard of garlic or zucchini or
fresh ginger wholemeal bread. Another silly generalisation.

:-)) Indeed that IS a generalisation that is not particularly useful IMO.
