I believe in moderation of everything and I also believe it is easy to get caught up in doing and perhaps overdoing one ideal. This has been placed on my heart and I found a great article discussing how The All Natural food movement can become a god. http://awomanswalk.blogspot.com/2012/05/is-your-quest-for-real-food-becoming.html.

his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole
body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments,
grows with a growth that is from God. If with Christ you died to the
elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the
world, do you
submit to regulations— ...
