Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Do you guys know the Pioneer Woman Cooks blog? Everything she makes would be extraordinarily unhealthy for me to eat all the time, but for someone who actually works a ranch like she and her husband do, it's different. Of course, all of her stuff looks delicious, because every recipe starts with a pound of butter and/or bacon.

Everything's better with bacon.

I am confused why people take things like 'eat like your great grandparents' so literally.
I'm not confused by it. I know that's not what he literally means. I just think it doesn't really mean anything at all. Just say, "Watch out for processed food" and maybe describe what processed food actually is and have that be your guideline.
And the no more than 5 ingredients thing is only sensible if you are eating processed food. My great big healthy salad I had for lunch today had way more than 5 ingredients! Lettuces, yellow bell pepper, carrots, grape tomatoes, gorgonzola crumbles, walnuts, boiled egg, vinaigrette (made of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, shallots, salt, & pepper). yum!

A lot of homemade bread recipes call for more than 5 ingredients. Or does even bread you make at home count as "processed"?

I just ate an omelet. Ingredients: eggs, butter, ham, feta, onions.
Phew.

The 5 ingredients thing is a rule of thumb for store labels. It wouldn't apply to a salad where you can easily identify the ingredients, or anything homemade where you would most likely be able to identify the ingredients.
Just say, "Watch out for processed food" and maybe describe what processed food actually is and have that be your guideline.
That's what he's trying to do. The great grandparent guideline is one way to help you do that.
ETA: He actually provides an alternative for the "great-grandmother rule", which is "don't eat anything incapable of rotting".
