North Korea's despot developed an addiction for Emmental cheese <br />and red wine while studying as a boy in Switzerland and continues <br /> to get huge shipments sent to Pyongyang today. <br /> <br />The hermit state's leader grew so fond of his European treats it is believed <br /> he developed GOUT, after he was captured on film limping and using a cane in 2014. <br /> <br />This was a major embarrassment for Kim Jong-un, who demands the <br />complete adoration of his brainwashed people and is held up as possessing <br />God-like invincibility. <br /> <br />Foreign experts believe the incident was concrete evidence of gout, a buildup in <br />uric acid in joints which can cause acute pain and discomfort while walking. <br />The disease can be treated with steroids, something observers now believe <br />explains his increasingly erratic and aggressive behaviour. <br /> <br />One doctor even said his medical status is a hot topic among the medical <br />community, with many coming to the conclusion Kim is suffering from “roid rage”. <br /> <br />Dr Rock Positano of the Hospital for Special Surgery said: “There’s widespread <br />speculation in the medical community that he has gout, and one of the treatments <br /> for gout is steroids. <br /> <br />“This fellow could be manifesting roid rage. <br /> <br />“There are so many world leaders who have suffered over the centuries, <br />and it’s changed history. <br /> <br />“Who knows what’s making this guy tick?” <br /> <br />Kim has held several controversial missile launches and nuclear tests in <br />recent months and regularly threatens to reduce Japan to “ashes” and America to <br /> “debris”. <br /> <br />The treatment of Kim’s cheese-induced gout with powerful steroids by inexperienced <br /> North Korean doctors could explain the growing threat of World War 3. <br /> <br />It also highlights the jarring disconnect between Kim and his inner circle with the <br />majority of North Korea’s 25 million-strong population, many of whom live in <br /> abject poverty. <br /> <br />Recent images showed North Korea’s elites chowing down on huge feasts, <br />while waitresses delivered huge jugs of beers at private bars in the capital of Pyongyang. <br /> <br />But a recent study by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organisation found <br />84 percent of homes suffer from “borderline poor or poor food consumption.” <br /> <br />The World Food Program said one-third of children suffer from stunted growth <br />due to malnutrition. Infant mortality rate is a shocking 33 percent. <br /> <br />The food supply is now so bad the country has been forced to introduce a <br />“two meals a day” policy - which have caused food riots in the poorest regions.
