There are certain individuals who seem to exhibit more curiosity towards their food than others, perhaps to the point of habitually picking what they eat apart (much to the chagrin of their meal companions). They're the same people who feel the compulsive need to pour over ingredient lists and leave yoghurt out for a week to watch the matter decompose.
