This looks like another piece of crap coming straight from people who want to
show us that the N. Coreans are evil and that they should be the next
target... Lame article. No journalistic value whatsoever.

I disagree.
It wouldn’t surprise me if it were true. Especially after knowing what hapenned
in Macau during WW2. And let’s face it, 20 million people have to eat - if they
don’t produce enough and can’t get the rest in the market, they will start
eating “rejects” (in 1998 North Koreans were reportedly taught in national radio
how to make “grass tea” and “grass soup”, for instance). If even that fails,
self-predation is the next thing in line, as disgusting as it may sound.
Of course, I understand it when you think this article is meant to “hype the
masses” against NK... but in this particular case, even I am supportive of
intervention (ASAP, by the way!). The government is deliberately keeping the
people in famine, since we know they were offered aid and refused it. Not to
mention that KJI is the last of the paranoid dictators...
What’s China’s stance on the issue, BTW?
