Bowl Cut Jr. to his nation: Please gnaw on roots to survive the coming famine
Canada Free Press ^ | 03/30/16 | Robert Laurie

Posted on 03/30/2016 11:55:33 AM PDT by Sean_Anthony

Hungry, hungry, hungry.

Ahhh North Korea - that glorious land of rice, jungle, James Franco comedies, and possible nuclear weapons. It truly is the kind of paradise that only the twin boogeymen of dictatorship and communism could create. Unless, of course, you get hungry.

If you live under the thumb of fearless leader Kim Jong Un, and you’re a human being who requires food to survive, you have a problem. Famine is coming and, while he likes Katy Perry, margaritas, building WMD’s, and threatening the west, Supreme Leader isn’t particularly interested in feeding his people.

Special: As the Daily Meal reports, citizens of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea are being warned that it’s time to start chewing on roots if they wish to survive. Yes, you read that right. Gnaw on the roots, because another “arduous march” is at hand.

Barry and Congress told us that when they voted in BarryCare for all of us and excluded themselves. Not one moderate or lib I know even acknowledged it.

And meanwhile, Dear Leader's own weight has apparently broken past the 300 lb. milestone. North Korea's security forces have their work cut out for them - half the starving population must be tempted to eat Kim.

God no. If you feed them, next thing you know, they’ll want to be warm.

“How is it?”
“He taste like gum.”
“Gum?”
“Juche-Fruit.”

You sure that’s not an OBAMA thought??

I think it’s a sign that Fat Boy knows his days may be numbered. Controlling the food is an attempt to keep folks loyal. All it takes is one General who’s fed up to end the Kim Dynasty.

It appears the Norks might benefit from reading some of his books.

"Get in my belly!"

South Korean officials have said Jung-un has recently gained as much as 70 pounds and is estimated to weigh 270 pounds. The guy is 32 and already walks with a cane. Probably won't make it another 10 years.

we’re running out of grass and worms to eat - better secure your tree-bark supplies, folks.

I figured they had already eaten all the trees and were working on the rocks.

Me too. And I've always found it quite ironic that Euell Gibbons is dead, but Keith Richards is still alive.

“...and were working on the rocks.”

I’ve read that in Africa they make literal mud pies of soil and water and eat that to at least fill up the stomach so they don’t feet hungry. I imagine the North Koreans have figured out that little trick too.

The dude looking at him must be thinking “His fat ass would feed me and my family for three generations. And my ancestors!’’

My mother cooked dried beans, potatoes & cornbread every
day when I was a kid. Never hungry.
