I just wish people would educate themselves more on what really matters and not just freak out because some Internet or TV guru tells them they should.

The problem is the food industry is so non transparent that when people hear this, of course they'll freak out. Many don't realize it only gets worse. People can't educate enough as long as the food industry continues to stretch the truth, hide their processes, and if poor labeling makes it impossible to fully know what we are eating.
You're absolutely right. Moderation is fine. But many people try and think they are moderating, but don't because they don't realize they're eating like suit.
