The North Korean dictator isn’t one for cuddles and a friendly game of fetch it seems, because he just suggested to his entire food-poor nation that eating dog meat is the way to optimal health thanks to its bountiful vitamins and easy digestion. While he won’t say the eat-more-dog campaign is due to a food shortage (I mean, admitting that would be disastrous, wouldn’t it?), he is saying that eating dog meat results in better absorption of nutrients and that the flesh of fido is more nutritious than chicken, beef, pork, duck, or just about any other mainstream meat out there.
