Tyrant dictators can’t be too careful.

Now reports coming from North Korea suggest Kim Jong-un has ordered for every lettuce leaf he eats to be carefully inspected.

A brave insider told the Daily NK in South Korea that there is a long and meticulous process before the leader tucks in.

She said: ‘The carefully selected vegetables are examined by their respective units each day before undergoing final inspection.

‘Microscopes are used to look for germs, toxins, and other harmful elements.’

The source continued: ‘Instead of just going through farm inspections, the produce needs to go all the way up through the Escort Bureau in order to receive the green light before being presented (to the leader)’.

And because Kim doesn’t believe in taking chances, all the farmhands are trained doctors with family and loyalty to the reigning Communist party.

Best hope everyone along the chain is loyal then, eh Kim?
