#1 The government estimates that North Korea will produce about 5 to 10 percent less food this year than last year.

I.e. the real number is somewhere between 50 and 100% less.

#4 I'm pretty sure there's calories in green jello.

ed, when you crawl along as close to the edge as the NorKs do, you don't need a 50% crop failure to drop you in the dutchie. 10% is probably 'lupus est homo homini' time for the backcountry.
