>Favoring stuff with Greek/Latin names is just a bunch of Euro-centrism

I think Taleb's heuristic here is for him to eat only fruits his ancestors have been eating for at least 1000 years. IIUC, his advice to a person of Chinese ancestry would be to eat only fruits with a Chinese name.

(Also, you changed the "Greek/Hebrew" in the earlier comment to "Greek/Latin".)
