What's the use of having Cake if you can't Eat it?

We have all heard, "You can not have your cake and eat it too".  Well who in their right mind would want a cake you can not eat?  Why can you not eat the cake you have?  Who made this rule?  Is it really a rule or is someone just jacking with us over the generations?  Why have we not questioned this rule before?
Why wouldn't we just chose to not even have the cake?  Would that not make life a lot more simple?  I mean, if I had a cake and it was sitting there day after day and I had to look but not touch, that would just be a form of torture.  I think I would chose to not have the cake at all.  A cake's sole purpose is to be eaten.  While it can be a thing of beauty to behold with the eyes and a sweet treat to the nose, it is made to be eaten.  So not only are we doing ourselves an injustice, we are depriving the cake of it's sole purpose in life and who wants that!  Not me!
If you decide that you want the cake despite not being able to eat it, why?  That is really all I have say about that point.
So next time someone tells you "you can not have your cake and eat it too" tell them you don't want the cake.  I personally think they are bluffing.  Call it!
I am not a princess oblivious to my people's poor condition, I am a Queen who says and means it, "Let them eat cake"!  It should improve anyone's condition, especially if it is made of chocolate.
Life is too short not to have your cake and eat it too, go for it!  Bake it yourself if you have too. ;-)
