it's ironic because Effie lives in the Capitol, a place where they force 24 children from the other districts to fight to the death. This is a form of entertainment for the Capitol, and this is barbaric in itself.

It's ironic because she's the person fattening the kids up for slaughter; she's making them good for the interviews and attractive for the audience and then they die in The Hunger Games.

On the train to the Capitol, Effie comments that Peeta and Katniss have some table manners. She then mentions the previous tributes from 12, who ate with their hands like "barbarians"
