I love the term murphy-jitsu :D

The environmental influence to our psyche is luckily gaining attention in the mainstream, and we get more and more advice on how to overcome habits challenges modifying what we are sourrounded by.

Unfortunately some challenges are much more difficult than others, and I find that often the harder to overcome are those related to food: food is used as social lubricant almost everywhere, and it's a rare occasion those where you can avoid eating like crap.
