The loony left is taking away our dog burgers! I will not eat the bugs!!!
I get the joke, but it was a fascist admin that banned the dog meat, far from a leftist administration. Yoon just wanted a cheap optics win to distract from his horrible economic policies and targeting women, disabled people, and minorities, despite dog meat having close to no consumption anyways. Dog consumption was only popular as an extremely cheap cut of meat during and after the Korean War, it isn't a delicacy and only the poorest of the poor were eating it recently.
Only poors? Weird. In my country it's acceptable for a president to eat dog.
Culture varies! In Korea, dog wasn't really seen as a traditional or normal meat staple, but became popular as millions of people were starving during the Korean War and needed food, as well as in the aftermath. Dog happened to be cheap to produce.
::: spoiler Eat it. Eat the bug!
Bring on the rat burger. (No salt.)
