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.
