Can’t imagine they import them. Just don’t make them then.
Post was falsely reported as “tabloid” and erroneously removed.

High Credibility sources should never be removed.
Hey mate, the original source isn’t the NZ Herald but The Sun. I did a little extra digging for another related post (because the mod got my knickers in a twist) which I’ll copy below. Do with it what you will, I’m rather over hot dogs.
The Sun, a tabloid rag with a history of false reporting, is the only original reporting. The other outlets are parroting them, some without attribution by simply stating “according to reports” like the above linked NZ Herald, or indirectly by attributing to a report which attributes it to another and so on, until it ultimately gets back to The Sun, like in this India Times article.
NYT: “Dictator Kim Jong Un has declared that serving the sausage was an act of treason, The Sun reports…”
Vice: “One thing to keep in mind about this report is that you have to take it with a grain of salt. It originates from The Sun, a tabloid that doesn’t have a ton of credibility.” -Emphasis mine because it’s funny-
The Mirror: . “One vendor, who is based in the northern province of Ryanggang, stressed that authorities have been monitoring them closely. The vendor told The Sun…”
The Sun is definitely a rag, but I don’t see anything here pointing to the Sun as a source. The only other source listed is Radio Free Asia (RFA).
The three quoted and linked articles directly state The Sun is the source of this information. Each relevant statement is in the quoted text I included in the comment, which can be verified at each link. The Vice article not only states The Sun is the source, it goes on to criticize them for being a rag, as quoted.
Radio Free Asia is the source of the bit about other foods being banned, not hot dogs. I have no issues there.
Let me be clear, there’s nothing in the NZ Herald reporting indicating they are using the Sun as a source.
They DO cite RFA, but they do not cite the Sun.
As the NZ Herald is a trusted source, the post is allowed to stand.
I’m not taking down a story because “well Vice says…” Vice isn’t at play here.
That’s fair, I appreciate the clarification.
Why are you all believing this obvious piece of false information?
No I’m not, that’s why lemmy.ml and hexbear, including its “counterpropaganda” brigading, is on my block list.
I discovered this post from my All feed, not from hexbear, if that’s what you are implying.
I’m actually implying what most people can already deduce from anyone shouting fake news from those instances.

And stuff my face so full I’ll die because of it.

Hot dogs are reserved for Dear Leader
He looked at his fingers and thought “I hope no one eats these. I better do something about that.”
We joke about hotdogs being mystery meat, but North Korean hotdogs have to be a terrifying enigma of amalgamated animal proteins.
Supposedly the produce in North Korea is really really good since no one will sell them modern farming equipment or technology, so it’s all done using old methods.
We are talking about hotdogs, not produce grown with human fertilizer.
Ain’t no way they are making artisanal organic whole meat hotdogs unless the emphasis is on the “dog”.
You think tractors worsen vegetable quality or something?
No, but vegetable breeds optimized for yield, requiring modern fertilizer and pesticides, do.
Some would call forced labor the oldest method.

According to Radio Free Asia…
We find the real source of the story buried near the bottom to avoid embarrassment. Must have been a slow news day in New Zealand 🤣 🤣 🤣
Seems I guessed that right from the headline. There’s plenty to shit on, like their soldiers being sent to the Ukrainian meat grinder. But when you see “country bans cheap food” or “country requires kim jong haircuts for everyone”, don’t be gullible.
NZ Herald is borderline tabloid. They just want the clicks. And then paywall some articles. And I’m pretty sure they were the ones caught using ChatGPT to write articles. I’m in NZ and actively avoid them.
Must be a slow day and a weighted agenda for someone to care. 🙄
Why care about truth or credibility, right?
We in the democratic world are capable of making fun of our crazy leaders, even when there might be a clear bias to that information. Those with an agenda to pander to go crazy eyes when anyone in their ideological bubble godhood pantheon has anything that is near seeming borderline bad appear to be associated to them.
If you truly do care whether a despot bans hotdogs for their citizens as a matter of “truth” and “credibility”, it truly must be a slow day and for a weighted agenda. At least the downvote list for that comment should be useful to instance admins, but it’s fairly obvious why *cough* *cough* cross-posted to: [email protected] (see profile)
Truth is always important. And hexbear is a broken clock, something something twice a day. North Korea is a dystopian dictatorship, but spreading lies does nothing to help at all. There are actual victims of authoritarianism in NK, and using their plight for sensationalism and clicks is just awful.
Too bad it isn’t a lie. That’s the thing about dictatorships, they can do whatever the fuck they want.
Why the fuck would NK want to ban hotdogs? literally what is the point of that?
Dictators can do whatever they want, but you think they write nonsensical laws for fun?
China does something akin to this, too:

- https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/shanghai-puts-stop-spooky-season-rcna177545
The fact is that these authoritarian states don’t want the possibility of any cultural mingling between societies, each has to be as alien as the other for the bubbles of ideology to sustain themselves. That makes it easy to vilify the other.
I see that you can’t really prove its false, it just seems strange to you so it must not be true.
The source routinely lies about this kind of shit.
You’ve been primed to believe this kind of bullshit to manufacture your consent for any and all heinous shit we continue to subject the DPRK to.
They are giving you an enemy that isn’t the capitalists currently exploiting you.
He doesn’t want any reminders of the throat goat Trump in his country
Well there goes my dream of eating a hotdog in North Korea.
Well you could eat one in South Korea instead. They love hotdogs there. They have developed some cool new takes on the corndog:
Don’t worry, you can have a hotcat or a hotdonkey
I used to date a girl who liked the hot donkey.
Scrounging around for components for their nukes I see…
I really want to balance a tea set on his hair. So flat.
