Reminds me of the story about the guy who was training his horse to eat less. Every day he'd give the horse a little less food, just a little bit less, so the horse wouldn't notice. Every day, a little bit less. His plan was working beautifully. But then, just when he had the horse trained to eat almost nothing, came unexpected bad luck. The horse died. |

The NorKs only care about their people when they have propaganda value. They already have at least 700,000 and possibly up to 2 million people in slave labor camps, many who's only crime was their grand- or great grandparents weren't sufficiently loyal to the regime. |

"Let them eat meth!" When you can't/won't feed them, give them diet pills instead. |

Well, they can claim there are no obese North Koreans, so they must have a healthier diet. That ought to count for something. Perhaps Michael Moore can do a film about the North Korean weight loss program. |

Remember the NorKs' solution for famine: it is your patriotic duty to tighten your belt before eating to avoid stomach cancer. |

Didn't the Nazis try this during WW2 ? I believe I saw a History Channel documentary called Nazi Super Soldiers. |
