Apparently we the people are not towering over other nations as we have done since the end of WWII.
In the Netherlands, the tallest country in the world, the typical man now measures 6 feet, a good 2 inches more than his average American counterpart.
Many economists believe height is important because it is correlated with numerous measures of a population's well-being.The same things that make people tall -- a nutritious diet, good prenatal care and a healthy childhood -- also benefit them in other ways.
That makes height a good indicator for economists who are interested in measuring how well a nation provides for its citizens during their prime growing years.
Details from the News Tribune.
I theorize our decline comes from being hunched over computer keyboards and receiving massive doses of EMFs.
