Yes, Lindy. She was right and she had her priorities right also. But so was Marie Antoinette on both counts. If you will study Marie's comment "let them eat cake" in the proper context, you will discover that it was a compassionate comment and not the snide remark that historians enjoy assigning it. Marie's "cake" was the equivalent of French country style bread during her day and what she was saying is that the peasants needed bread for survival and it should be provided them.
