Though I'm loathe to admit it, some of these are very clever programs. Don't know about the "People's Restaurants," though. I guess they are probably just soup kitchens with a more totalitarian name.
EDIT: It seems like making food a basic right is incidental to the fact that they've come up with clever ways to enable entrepreneurs and farmers to sell food.
- omouse 16y agoHow does it sound totalitarian if they're not doing anything totalitarian? They really are People's Restaurants which is a nice change from all the laws and countries that use "people's" or "freedom" or other ideas in contradiction to their real purpose.
- dtby 16y agoI believe you have answered your own question. If the headline had read "People's Restaurants to Eliminate Hunger," I would have assumed it was yet another political DPRK story on HN, as opposed to a political Belo Horizonte story on HN. [Yes, yes, I know: "gratifies one's intellectual curiosity" and "hacking the food supply."]
