The Problem with “Moderation”

January 10, 2015 by Jennifer Silverberg Leave a Comment

I’ve lost count of how many times people (not the healthy ones), have tried to dismiss health information by saying, “I just believe in moderation,” or “everything in moderation.” The problem with “moderation” is that what is considered “moderate” keeps getting pushed farther and farther out by our food marketers, whose job it is to sell us more and more food. (And don’t even get me started with the “everything” in “everything in moderation” – really, poisons, too?) I don’t need to say much here – the numbers from the USDA, below, tell the story.
