In regards to the phrase "All things in moderation" Does this mean quantity or frequency to you?

• I agree. I knew someone who would 'justify' a little something different all the time not realizing that was no longer moderation!

• I knew someone who would eat fast food all the time, but say "what? I haven't had McDonald's in 3 weeks!" Then I would say..."Yes, but you had Wendy's yesterday and Burger King the day before!" lol

• Actually, the question makes perfect sense. Moderation has more than one meaning. The phrase "all things in moderation" is an American adaptation of Aristotle's Doctrine of the Mean (as presented in his Nicomachean Ethics). His ethic works focused around finding the 'happy medium' between excess and deficiency. To many people, enjoying something in moderation means limiting the quantity to a moderate amount (aka a reasonable amount or serving size). For others, it means limiting the frequency with which they indulge in something to only a moderate amount (aka not with excessive frequency). That was the crux of the legitimate question.
