Eat Cake Instead

Never could I imagine that we’re importing LE 7.8 billion worth of wheat every year to subsidise 270 million pieces of bread for those who largely cannot afford to eat anything else. Suzi, is it true that the government has failed to import enough flour? I remember a famous quote from the French Revolution. Farmers were protesting and the royal scratched her head and asked: If they don’t have bread, why don’t they eat cake instead?
