Since we seniors are mature and intelligent people, I think we understand that the term "moderation" means the avoidance of extremes.


The phrase "voidance of extremes" should be banned too because it doesn't quantify anything either.

I doubt any of us feel that it would be moderate behavior to eat "every junk food item imaginable" on a daily basis.
My exact statement with qualifier: "It might mean that you can eat every junk-food item imaginable as long as you don't have it twice in one day." Common sense dictates that it means one would have a choice among every junk-food item imaginable. It simply calls for good reading comprehension.
