Top 5 American Food I loved As a North Korean

[@ciaradiam0nd]

Literally almost in tears hearing this sweet girl say how grateful she was for eggs and how excited she sounded when describing the 4th of July hot dogs. Really puts things into perspective.

[@laurensimonelli5654]

As an American, I always considered eggs as an ordinary staple in the the kitchen. To hear Yeonmi describe eggs as a luxury food is greatly humbling. I am grateful that you shared your story and helped me see from your perspective. I think, moving forward, I will be more considerate of my blessings.

[@markheithaus]

Seriously! I can get 18 eggs for 65¢ at Food Lion

[@skip123davis]

that's exactly how i felt. i'm a 58 year old 7 year usaf veteran brought to tears by her gratitude. if the balloon goes up, i'll jump right in (if they'll have me) and give it my absolute last measure.

[@Cugastratos]

In spite of the problems we experience as Americans, much of it is "first world" issues. I was homeless before, but even then I was able to recieve food using my states SNAP system. In fact the amount I recieved each month was too much for me and I always left behind around $50 or more. When I finally was able to get housing, and informed them I didn't need it anymore, they told me to use up what was left behind to fill up my fridge. It wasn't great being homeless, but even so there are people in the world that don't.get the kind of support we have in the US.

[@RedbelliedChewpacabra]

Yes, eggs are a staple food in America. You can be poor and still afford to buy eggs, or raise a chicken for the eggs. When I was growing up, my mother raised a few chickens in the backyard. They gave us enough eggs for the whole family, so we did not have to shop for them every week. This is impossible in a strict communist dictatorship like North Korea, because the people there aren't allowed to own any chickens. All of the good meats for the leaders, and only the wild animals left for the people to eat. I'm thankful we can have our own stuff here.

"In North Korea you are not as valuable as a cow." Wow that's a powerful statement!

[@moondog7694]

It's an inaccurate statement. It's not that North Koreans value cows over humans. It's that they don't want just one person to hoard/hog one cow, preventing other humans from partaking. They want to ration the cows as carefully as possible, making sure that the most valuable members of their society (the high-up officials in the inner circle) get the best nutrition possible. So a more accurate statement would be that North Korea values multiple high-ranking, professionally-employed humans over a single low-skill blue-collar worker. That seems reasonable to me, given the environment they're in.

[@hooligan2588]

@@moondog7694 You're implying North Korea has anything about it thats reasonable

[@radiotriggered2096]

@@moondog7694 If they want to have more cows and better nutrition, they should allow cows and bulls to fuck, get a little baby cow, have it grow up and repeat. All the while the previous ones can continue putting out more cows. So can the new ones. In the meantime, they can chomp on the grass on the ground so people don't have to work to keep the grass down. And they don't have to get fed beyond that either. Free labour, free meat, free work done. Basics. I don't see the problem. I especially don't see anything reasonable about their current practices. If it was about getting the higher ups the best nutrition possible, they wouldn't be limiting the people. That's why it is not about getting the best for the higher ups, it is about keeping the people down. Even if the higher ups also don't get the best.

This video is making me almost cry. I'm so happy for her. I have been following her journey for years now. So happy she has a KZbin channel. I can watch her grow and live out her life where she is meant to be. Helping others! ❤

A video on household chores/appliances and how they differ? For example: laundry (washer/dryer), dishes, microwave, stove, refrigeration, etc. Thanks!!

[@CAMarg-zs1xq]

I love this channel so much...thank you for sharing your story and sharing your life/experiences with us

[@katsalenga9092]

This video made me feel so grateful. God bless you and your family!

[@hivelsword]

Food. Yes! I love how your first video in a long time would be pertaining to food. I would do the same! Please make sure that even if you ask for suggestions on what we would like to see (various topics) on your channel, always make sure you include videos of topics that YOU want to talk about that were not outside suggestions. This is your channel, your voice. We appreciate you regardless of content. Big love from Connecticut!

[@WayraRose]

You are adorable!!! It is amazing what we in the U.S. take for granted. Thank you for reminding us to be thankful!

[@christycee7013]

I love chicken and steak too!! I hope everyone appreciates what they have like you do. Thanks for inspiring us.

[@turkantay]

Ahhh dear Yeonmi, I feel really happy to see your new life. Eat, live, love, laugh, and spread this love and joy all of your around! World is beautiful with peace and love

[@EmmaStephens1995]

I love your videos I try to watch one a day they really help me feel more grateful for the things around me.

[@captaindaddy8645]

I love your channel!!! Im so glad you have made it to the land of the free.it really is a gift to live here.many Americans are so ungrateful for all we have here.they are ignorant to reality.

[@Chickadeemedicine]

I think you would like a popular Canadian dish. We have what we call pemeal bacon (Canadian bacon in American stores) that its delicious fried in some corn meal. Or pancakes and real maple syrup. Both classics here that many love. Even good together, the salty bacon makes a great mop for extra syrup left on the plate

[@shaunalea823]

Omg yes or sausage!!!

[@Chickadeemedicine]

@@shaunalea823 yes maple breakfast sausages baked for 25ish at 400F. Makes a crisp outercasing but juicy center

[@evelien135]

Or salted popcorn with a little bit of hot maple syrup

[@vasudevtiwaritales20]

Nice yeonmi thanks for video

[@YeonmiParkOfficial]

Vasudev Tiwari Thank you for watching it xoxo

[@Alink2yoshi]

I can't describe how happy this video made me. Because almost everything you listed I have just taken for granted my whole life, and seeing them bring you such joy makes me happy.

[@Arthur5260]

Learning alot from your videos. I'm glad you are here in the US.

[@just-in-time6069]

Love how the small things are your favorite dishes and it's the little things that matter it's hard to here things you've been through and lot of people in America don't appreciate what they have mostly rich people that think there better but glad I came across your channel made me change my thinking towards certain things and love your accent keep safe and have wonderful day.

[@arikafetner]

[@anjaneen]

Thank you for helping me appreciate my food and making me feel rich because I have eggs in the fridge (and electricity to preserve them). Your channel is amazing and makes me feel so much gratitude for the life I have. ❤️ What can we do to help those still in North Korea or those trying to leave?

[@wyattpervledge2801]

Love you, love what you do and love learning - from you! Very humbling...

[@kimberlygabaldon3260]

I'm so glad you are here, and are happy and safe. I hope that things get better for the North Korean citizens. Listening to you really makes me appreciate everything I have. 💕
