Philosophy of moderation

There is a general philosophycal idea that - if considered in many aspects of our life - can help achieve a happy life & it is the concept of making a desicion by exclusion of extreme choices & picking a choice from the mid of the spectrum.

For example, if you apply this idea to food choices; there are 2 ends of the spectrum (or 2 extremes):
1 - Eat too much & unhealthy food (check out this movie: supersize me); the result is you will be overweight.
2 - Eat too lillte & eliminate 'unhealthy' food completely; the result is you will get some kind of vitamin deficiency or even anemia.

Of course, both extremes are wrong, obviously because they are extremes; this is a lot of times a good measure or guideline for many choices we face everyday to be able to reach the optimal (most balanced and moderate) choice in my opinion.
