You know I think you're right about inspiring/having some good influence. The one girl at work who hates it when I do it has seen me do it once before. She hangs around me and another fellow who is very much into healthy stuff. Although he is "wierd" and I am "semi-wierd", and she DEFINITELY wouldn't want to drink CAYENNE PEPPER all day, she is becoming very conscious that Jeff and I both look good and we're older and conscious of her own habits. She is starting to talk about getting herself off of soda and learning to cook more healthily. She bought a cook book just now. So yeah, we're still more on the far end, but it is extremely gratifying to know that our health + health ideas do influence her to think in that direction. If she just starts eating a more healthy American style diet (getting rid of most Sugar & soda), she'll see much benefit and she's only 23 so starting this early may do much for keeping her healthy longer.
I don't mind if people think it's a little odd, especially if I end up helping them improve their health.
