They certainly won't be making dinner much
People eat in the DPRK, the Arduous March was 3 decades ago. It's similar to Cuba, or even better now due to having trading partners on its door in Russia and China.
https://www.hrnk.org/documentations/is-there-a-famine-in-north-korea/#%3A%7E%3Atext=In+2022%2C+the+UN+publication+%E2%80%9CThe+State%2Cat+its+worst+since+the+1990%27s+famine.
Sources seem to conclude otherwise. NK still seems to be struggling after COVID and failed harvests a couple of years ago.
Many human rights are reporting the North Korean people are still struggling with food scarcity, including the UN.
Not sure why my previous comment was removed, I though this was common knowledge, wasn't referencing the Arduous March at all.
That source is extremely biased:
From their about page " Our Mission By revealing the truth, HRNK is applying pressure not only to the totalitarian regime of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea but the international community at large to effect real change. HRNK’s ultimate goal is to close North Korean gulags, open the borders so citizens can leave the country, and provide access to information throughout North Korea, including breaking the information blockade and preventing widespread access to media and news. We aim to bring about real and substantial change to the policies that obstruct the human rights of every North Korean citizen. "
In addition, the sourcing from the document you linked are south korean government agencies, rfa, and other USAID linked think tanks. Do you think that South Korea and the United States has a vested, material interest in disseminating propaganda about a country so heavily bombed that they inflicted a genocide?
