And you thought living under a cruel dictator didn’t have its benefits.
North Koreans have never looked so svelte.

Hey folks! You may be starving to death but at LEAST you aren’t fat.
Oh, and it’s not just North Korea he praised …
Other is Cuba, citing as examples of intervention controlling/influencing behavioural change funnily enough not the route the U.K. adopts https://t.co/PLfun8t1x3

Sounds like you need the government to starve its people if you actually want to have a ‘handle’ on obesity.
Shameful! NK doesn't have a handle on it: it's the tragic by-product of a vicious, brutal regime where millions have died of starvation.

But none of them were fat!

Pretty sure Jenny Craig hasn’t pushed that angle with weight loss; “Sure, your kids might not grow as well but at least your ass won’t be fat.”
Right Cracknell?
you misspelt "endemic famine" there mate.

Indeed he did.
Yep, I believe in a starvation diet… North Korea &Cuba have it hands down, Venezuela will be next, no food =no obesity, except for leaders

See, guys? Living under a brutal communist dictatorship isn't so bad. Less greenhouse gases AND no obesity! pic.twitter.com/3lPAfswq78

Whoohoo! Let’s hear it for starvation and malnourishment! Because no country starves its people like North Korea does … well, except maybe Cuba.
