Portly North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, whose hostile actions have brought crippling international sanctions to his impoverished nation, has a new message for the Hermit Kingdom’s starving masses: Get ready to eat plant roots.
Kim, whose weight the South Korean government estimates has ballooned to nearly 300 pounds, signaled through state media that the nation could be headed for another famine like the one that killed an estimated 3.5 million people in the 1990s.

Phone? Man, are they technologically advanced.
If the gov. finds out about our hypothetical farmer all he worked for will be confiscated for the good of the state. If he hides it from the state he will be killed when one of his neighbors turns him in.
If they get hungry enough they always dine on him. A 300lb pig would feed a lot of families for at least a week.
Whoops, lost the “could” there somehow.
My bet is there’s plenty of food in NK. Looming mass starvation is due to the adoption of Moochelle’s school lunch menu.
Fat and cigarettes. When you just don’t want to live beyond 50.
His personal physician, Dr. Hugh Jass, says “I see nothing wrong with this!”
That craft beer will catch up to you.
The skinnier these people get, the bigger their hats get. Not a good look.

Most of the land is poor, it’s cold and any food you produce has to be given to the government for distribution. If there is not enough food for the military (and party elite), civilians get NONE.
Anyone found hoarding is executed on the spot. Including any family members.
Anyone reporting hoarders is rewarded with food.
The socialist dream...
Then you wonder how prisoners are fed in those camps.
I haven’t had a beer in almost thirty years. What is ‘’craft beer’’, some new stuff?
They can’t hear me, but to the people of North Korea I say: Use a rock to get a knife, use a knife to get a gun, use a gun to get more guns and roast that fat bastard alive.
Strategic Fatroleum Reserve.
They aren't. They don't live long. They fight for grass, bark, weeds, roots, vermin.
Their government would steal any product of your work.
