In the 18th century, Queen Marie Antoinette of France is said to have advised the starving masses that if they had no bread, they should eat cake. Today's poor follow this suggestion word for word. While the wealthy residents of Beverly Hills eat steamed tofu with lettuce and quinoa, the poor in the slums and ghettos stuff themselves with crackers, chips, hamburgers, and pizza.
""A 18. században Mária Antónia francia királyné állítólag azt tanácsolta az éhező tömegeknek, hogy ha nincs kenyerük, egyenek kalácsot. A mai szegények szóról szóra követik ezt a javaslatot. Miközben Beverly Hills gazdag lakosai párolt tofut esznek fejes salátával és quinoával, a nyomornegyedek és gettók szegényei keksszel, chipsszel, hamburgerrel és pizzával tömik magukat."
