KIM JONG UN MAY HAVE CAUSED A PARASITIC WORM EPIDEMIC IN NORTH KOREA BY MAKING FARMERS SPREAD HUMAN FAECES ON THEIR CROPS
The prevalence of parasitic worms causing health problems in North Korea may be the result of a personal intervention by Kim Jong Un, who urged farmers to spread human excrement on their fields to fertilize crops.
The hermit nations leader issued an instruction to farmers in 2014 telling them to use human faeces with animal waste and organic compost on their fields. With a lack of livestock to provide animal fertilizer, agriculturists poured the human excrement, also known as night soil, on their fields.
Kims pronouncement further precipitated the falsehood in North Korea that human waste was the best fertilizer for crops despite the dangerous parasites and worms found within in it, Reuters reported.
The nutrition and widespread health problems that blight North Korea have been highlighted by one North Korean soldier who has recently defected to the south. The army sergeant was found to have dozens of flesh colored parasites in his digestive tract, one of which measured 10.6 inches in length.

Parasites and tuberculosis were once endemic problems in S. Korea. Now N. Korean population is suffering from health crisis much worse than S. Korea used to decades ago. It is not just parasite problem. There are host of other problems. The whole country is a gigantic public health catastrophe.
Yeah, but he meant well.
This practice works just fine if all vegetables are fully cooked before consumption. The problem is some Korean meals involve the use of raw lettuce to make wraps. Washing alone doesn’t kill the parasites.
It's not a problem as long as the vegetables are fully cooked before consumption. Raw salads are a definite no-no.
Donald to Kim:
Hey you short fat dude, this is the old dude.
Give it up. You can come up with nuclear bombs, yes we know.
But can you come up with a healthy people?
At least till this Obamacare fiasco, America led the world in that.
So why don’t you scuttle all this totalitarianism and we’ll show you a better way?
SOYLENT GREEN with Kimchee.
Among other names.
Those of you here in the US who eat produce from Mexico and points south, and shellfish from the Far East. might want to reconsider your choices too. But not to worry, we have the USDA out there “protecting our food supply,” not! And remember the Chinese dog food made with Melamine and Chinese dry wall that had so much formaldehyde in it that it made homeowners ill. Trump talks about “buy American,” and it takes on “special meaning” when it comes to what you eat.
Si! Equalmente!
Dilly,Dilly!!!
Which is why I grow as much of my own produce as I can.
I have a years supply of homegrown garlic, so I don’t have to depend on the crap from China.
You just can’t make this s*** up.
A lot of third world countries do that so be careful and read where your produce comes from.
Give it up. You can come up with nuclear bombs, yes we know. But can you come up with a healthy people? At least till this Obamacare fiasco, America led the world in that. So why dont you scuttle all this totalitarianism and well show you a better way?

It’s not a good day for their people to die, and anyone with a heart knows it.
Story, like 80% of “Newsweak”, is BS.
Chinese, Vietnamese and Koreans have been using “night soil” for centuries.
