Disney Fans Outraged Over "Prison Food": The NY Post says Disneyland and Disney World customers have recently been complaining about skimpy, overpriced food portions. Visitors have been posting pictures of the poorly produced dishes on social media and comparing them to "prison food." One post shows Disney's $16.99 lobster roll sandwich with a tablespoon of lobster meat on a beaten-up hot dog bun. Another photo shows a Disney salad that consists of a few lettuce leaves and radishes. One customer claims Disney is charging $5 for three tiny fried donuts in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head.
The uproar began after Disney announced that they would begin reducing portions at Disney restaurants due to supply chain issues. Disney executives claimed the cutbacks would be "good for guests' waistlines."

Dear Fonseca
I was recently set up on a blind date. We had a great time. My date is smart, successful and witty. The only thing I don't like about him is his laugh. It's high pitched and screeching. During dinner, people were looking at him because his laugh was so uniquely annoying. I like everything else about him. Is a bad laugh a reason not to date someone?
