I'm one of those people that always reads the food labels. I mean, for most things that I eat (and given that they have the "nutrition" facts) I just have to read it - I do this to know how many calories I will be eating with that food. Then, I proceed to add up the present calories to the ones I've already eaten. This way, I know how many more calories are "Ok" to eat before I reach the average 2,000 daily calorie diet.
Now, the thing is that even though this may sound crazy, I really do do this. BUT, the awkward thing is that I do this just for doing it. 
I mean, I eat whatever. Really. If I'm hungry, I eat something. I'm not about to deprive myself of something I want to eat just so I can look "better" (okay, okay... "decent" ) or anything. So long as I'm pretty healthy, I'm ok!
What Rei said was awesome: why should we please all our other senses, but not our taste? Sure, when taken over the limit, serious consequences can come about. However, I personally think that this over eating or what not is a form of gluttony. But then again, anything can be abused. This is why we should be conscientous about what we eat, and this means being conscious about what we should and shouldn't eat.
All in all, I think food is cool. ^__^ What a better way to sweeten life than by chocolate? I think that food is something that we should enjoy (properly), but there are those who disagree, and to them - hey, more food for me. 
So yeah, I strangly look at the nutrition panel, like I care, when I really... well, I guess I just want to read something, you know? :p
