Yes, western-centric sources indeed over-represent real problems in the DPRK and under-represent their achievements. Again, they seem to be doing about as well as Cuba, maybe a bit better, and considering the brutal sanctions on each that's quite the feat.
Your "common knowledge" is just the western viewpoint that clings to the Arduous March and stories, both real and fake, of defectors raised during that era.
Plus, making a joke about a country having food insecurity, regardless of validity, is monstrous behavior. Even if you were correct, you'd still be a shitty person for that alone.
