I don’t seek out sweet food. It’s sort of a habit I got into as an adult at some point. I don’t dislike dessert; I just don’t actively consider it. If I’m out for lunch or dinner I load up on the savory stuff and mostly get too full to go for anything else afterward, other than maybe a few pieces of fruit.

Domestic flights are up 47% since January, one in every four marijuana retailers say that they plan to raise prices in the next year, and even fast food is getting pretty expensive. A report from data analytics firm Placer.ai found that June foot traffic to Starbucks and Dunkin dropped by a respective 4.1% and 6.6% as more people try the "latte factor" (a financial concept, popularized by writer David Bach, not having a latte every day and seeing what you save over a few months) out of necessity. Given that inflation is already pushing some to visit less, Starbucks may have wanted to keep its price increases on the downlow.

Breakfast has never been my favorite meal to eat in Walt Disney World. I always leave too early for the parks and tell myself I’ll just buy something healthy once I get there, and then I end up passing a muffin cart and buying one, and it’s delicious and also provides me no good energy and leaves me feeling like a muffin: puffy, stout, and tired (muffins look tired, don’t they?).
