They Are Forced To Eat Grass

Because of the empty pockets and empty grocery shelves in North Korea, some residents are forced to find food in the environment around them. For many, this means lots and lots of grass in their diet. If you have a dog or cat, you know how much they love to eat grass. A lot of the time, however, they end up throwing it up! That’s because the grass is not food! Sure, it’s plentiful and green, but there’s very little nutritional value behind grass and some of it is even hard to digest. The worst part about a grass diet? Because of the scarce resources in the country, much of the plant life is fertilized with human feces that civilians were forced to collect and give to the government. We use cow poop to grow our crops here, but I’m sure many people would feel very uncomfortable knowing their food only grew because of their neighbor’s poop.
