I am sure the priority for North Korea’s Longevity Institute is to keep Kim alive, but I would think all these scientists are also responsible for keeping other regime officials as healthy as possible as well:
Hyeong-soo Kim said the mysterious Longevity Institute where he worked had the sole purpose of pushing back the leader’s death.
And with the lifestyle of North Korea’s leaders being notorious for its huge meals, that meant a constant fight with cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
It left researchers desperate to study other obese people, but with North Korea unable to feed its population, they were forced to spy on overweight foreigners instead. (……..)
He continued: “They developed food products because Kim Jong-il had cardiovascular disease and diabetes.
“The two Kims were rather obese, so they monitored and researched people that were obese, which is hard in North Korea.
“Because most of the people are going through malnutrition, they had to study and research the obese superiors or the political leaders.
“Even foreign diplomats or correspondents that come to North Korea were actually researched. These people didn’t even know they were being studied.” [Daily Star]
You can read more at the link, but the Kim regime should have just sent a spy into America and spied on how the people who frequent Wal-Mart keep themselves alive.
