What is Let's eat?
The name of a collection of plays produced in San Francisco. The play on words is in reference to Marie Antoinette's alleged quote "Let Them Eat Cake." Because San Francisco is known as the most openly gay city in the United States, the slogan emerged from an SFSU playwright as ironic commentary in order to protest against the "gay" egocentric image oriented consumer world: "Let Them Eat Snatch"
Person: Why is Ryan Seacrest such a vain closeted asshole?
You: Just "let them eat snatch..."

Let's eat - what is it?
A quote that has long been attributed to Marie Antoinette, although historians have generally concluded that she never said that.
Rousseau published in his work "Confessions" (1770) a story of a "great princess" who asked why the peasants were so upset; when told that they had no bread, the princess flippantly said "Qu'ils mangent de la brioche". Marie Antoinette was only fourteen at the time, unknown to the world, and was not even in France at the time.
The story of the ignorant, callous princess uttering "Let them eat cake" was around for a century before Marie Antoinette was even born. Contrary to saying such a statement, Marie Antoinette once wrote to her family: "It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness. The King seems to understand this truth."

Let's eat - meaning
It's to show either that you don't care if people are in the shit, or how they get out of it.
It can also be used to show that you don’t understand much about people’s shitty situation.
Both meanings can be used together, to mean that you don’t understand much about their shitty situation, you don’t care to understand it, and you don’t care how they get out of it either.
Where this came from:
A French writer called Rousseau wrote that a great princess once said, more or less, that if you have no bread, there's always cake instead.
When she says "cake", don't think birthday cake. Think pastries and cakes that come in squares that you can slice, which a basically just sweet bread.
Think of a posh French princess in a carriage that's going through peasant land in order to get to the castle. They have to stop for a minute, so the peasants start to approach, carrying bread baskets. The princess asks what they want. She's told they need bread, because they don't have any. And this is where she says the line. But you can interpret it in several ways:
1. She's never seen poor people before, and she's ditzy:
"Well, what I would do is just have cake instead, so why don't they just do that?"
2. She's never seen poor people before, and she doesn't care (whilst applying makeup):
"Oh well. Can't they just have cake instead?"
3. She knows they are poor, and she's being a complete bitch, almost making a joke (staring out the window):
"Oh well, there's always cake."
