So, the North Koreans make their kids build highways and eat rocks.
Today, KCNA is touting the health benefits of rocks. I wish I was kidding.
In particular, the active natural mineral complex helps children grow fast. The growth rate is double for boys and quadruple for girls. And it improves their physical strength and vigor.
Wow. Just, wow.
Three thoughts:
If eating rocks is supposed to promote astonishing growth (quadruple for girls???), then why are Koreans so short?
Haven’t they heard of vitamins?
Have you ever seen the old 70’s SNL commercial for Quarry Cereal? I’m reminded of that.
