The New Nork Diet

Bad food:

An outbreak of diarrhea that soldiers are cynically describing as a "gift from Kim Jong Un" is affecting a North Korean unit of border guards, sources in the country say.

The new food began to be supplied Dec. 1 when winter training began for the military. But some of the supplies were defective and were mixed in with "iron powder" and "threads," a source in Yanggang Province told RFA. Sand was found in delivered soup stock, and a provision of Japanese sandfish had a strange smell, according to the source.

The sandfish caused diarrhea among soldiers and the outbreak has given rise to new levels of cynicism regarding Kim's policies, the source said.

Kim Jong Un appears determined to ensure his own military revolts against him. Clock's tickin', Fat Boy. You should probably start running now if you plan to live out the decade...
