North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said the country should feed its soldiers better, according to state media KCNA on Wednesday, after a defected North Korean soldier's health last year highlighted nutrition problems in the isolated state.

On a visit to a military rations factory, Kim said it should produce tasty and nutritious food to "substantially contribute to improving the diet of the servicepersons", according to KCNA.

Kim said "officials and employees of the factory should always overfulfill the production plan on all indices, bearing in mind the noble intention of leader Kim Jong Il (his late father) who spared nothing for the soldiers of the People's Army".

No one has referenced the news story in the last 6 months or so stating the Norks executed a general, supposedly for illegally obtaining food to better feed his soldiers.

Maybe they should unkill that general.

You can go to You Tube (such as it is) and see any one number of videos, most of them shot by real people, in North Korea, with Korean minders of course, but you can see the reality of things there and even at best the Potemkin attempts at the happy workers state are a failure. It’s important to understate that in any dictatorship everything and every facet of life is a lie.
