Such a good point. Eat/rest whenever you need to, and whenever you want to, whenever you feel like it. But if you find a nice spot, take a rest and enjoy it even if you don't need it.
I read some advice that I put down in my little book.
It might be a good idea to simply take a break every 20 miles and snack. That equals about 1.5 to 2 hours of touring. Keeping to this guideline helps keep your legs fresh (a little stretching) and you don't forget to eat.
Not sure if its the best advice - but it seems to make sense to me.
