If the 2008 financial crisis caused the nation to tighten its belt, the Justice Department didn’t get the memo.
The federal agency spent about $490,000 on food and beverages at 10 conferences, including $16 apiece for muffins, more than a dollar an ounce for coffee and $32 per person on snacks, according to a new report from the Justice Department’s inspector general.
The half-a-million-dollar tab represented more than 10 percent of the $4.4 million total cost of the events that were held between October 2007 and September 2009.

When Marie Antoinette used the term "Let them eat cake", the term cake meant something very different than it does now.
Cake was the term used to describe what you would find at a sludge farm.
