The whole North Korean debacle would be funny, if it weren't so scary and sad. Now this plan to stave off starvation with a new kind of candy. [Link](http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=oddlyEnoughNews&storyID=8629258&ref=thedailyeudemon.com). Excerpts:

> North Korea has developed a candy it claims is good for children and will help them increase their height, weight and IQ, a pro-North Korea newspaper published in Japan said on Friday.

> Unlike sugar-packed and chocolate-covered sweets, the North is hoping that children in the reclusive state will enjoy munching on their nutritional candy made of seaweed, beans, carrots and sesame seeds, the newspaper said.

> The candy report comes on the same day a top U.N. agency official said the food shortage crisis in North Korea is growing more severe by the day and the communist state is dispensing "starvation rations" to its population.
