North Korea has stepped up actions to rid itself of masses of excess food, firing food-laden rockets into the sea. "We have so much food in our glorious republic that we can't possibly eat all of it." said a North Korean spokesperson "So in order to clear some space, we are loading excess food onto rockets, firing them off and dumping the food into the sea - it is either that or an obesity epidemic for our people."
