Hunger delaying noodles
When faced with a tough issue one always has two options: solve it, or put “lipstick on the pig” as one of my favorite American expression calls it. North Korea inventing “hunger delaying noodles” is one of the best ever example of, well, the not solve it solution…
N Korea ‘develops special noodle’
North Korean scientists have developed a new kind of noodle that delays feelings of hunger, a Japan-based pro-Pyongyang newspaper has reported.
The noodles were made from corn and soybeans, the Choson Shinbo said.
They left people feeling fuller longer and represented a technological breakthrough, the newspaper said.
The irony of this is that these noodles will be a huge hit in the western world. Weight & watchers has probably already dispatched experts to Pyongyang to steal the formula. And patent it.
