It's long been rumored that Marie Antionette said this now famous phrase upon hearing that the peasants in her country had no bread to eat.
I wonder, though, what she would have said if she'd learned her people WERE eating cake - MUDCAKES, that it.
What will you say when you learn what Haiti's poor does to try to survive?
People haven't believed me when I told them that the poor literally eat dirt. Thank you, MSN for publishing this article this week:

Thanks for posting the link to the article. I think these types of stories can help us all realize how lucky we are, and how much we can give.
I hope things are going well in the process for you and Lexi and Nathan.
Oh my goodness. It's a little embarrassing to admit, but I'd never heard of this before. After reading that article, truthfully, I was mortified! How can I complain about a particular craving for cantaloupe when I have good nutritious food to eat in great abundance during pregnancy as well as post partum (while I'm nursing a baby). Wow, we sure are blessed.
