Moderation

This sarcastic conversation happened approximately 6+ years ago.

me: so... is it true that pineapples are bad for pregnancy?
ob-gyn: huh?
me: well, they said it's a "cooling" fruit, so should not eat...
ob-gyn: well... have you ever heard when someone wants to abort a child, they just go eat tonnes of pineapples to do the job?
me: ...
ob-gyn: not too say cannot eat, but everything must be in moderation... too much of anything, including pineapples will be not good...
me: {nodding... because it makes so much sense}

I always say that being moderate is the toughest. It's easy to swing from one extreme to another, but being moderate and able to balance things. That is hard.
