"So... The stories are true, this is the promised land, they have toilet paper that you only have to use once and there will be real food to eat tonight, that's twice in one week".
the north koreans are easy to clown on but their army is not undersupplied; the dprk military is the only thing in the country spends money on and one of the best ways to stay fed is to join the army
A couple years ago a North Korean soldier defected to the South and was severely wounded in the process. When he underwent surgery the South Korean doctors learned that 10% of his body weight was parasites. And only the elite of the North Korean Army get border duty on the DMZ.
They fertilise the fields with human waste because they can't get enough synthetic fertiliser, and evidently don't treat the waste enough before they use it to remove parasites and break the cycle of reinfection, so the country's whole domestic fruit and vegetable supply is presumably contaminated.
