An east German pensioner who breeds rabbits the size of dogs has been asked by North Korea to help set up a big bunny farm to alleviate food shortages in the communist country. Now journalists and rabbit gourmets from around the world are thumping at his door.
The whole article is here (http://www.spiegel.de/international/0,1518,458863,00.html). And the breeder is making the North Koreans a special deal, too. What altruism! Unless ... could it all be just an inscrutable, insidious plot by Dear Leader to breed huge numbers of huge bunnies and use them to overrun the South? The South Korean Army won't dare fire on the cute little interlopers until it's too late! Think of the children!

giant rabbit jokes aside...how much food does it take to grow a rabbit to the point where it could feed eight people a single meal? seems like if you just cut out the middlerabbit, you'd have more than eight meals...
According to the German guy who breeds them, you can feed them just about any vegetable matter, so I guess they're reasonably cost effective. And remember, the peace-loving people of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea do not require the huge, lavish meals so prevalent in the decadent capitalist countries. And they're smaller, too (the people, not the rabbits).

The main reason they're smaller is because they don't have enough food. So if we give them enough food, they'll get bigger - and they'll need more food. So they wouldn't be so cost-effective.

But that doesn't matter, Dear Leader's masterful economic planning will take care of that.
