Why is everyone so tall nowdays compared to just 100 years ago?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Better diet: Despite everything that you've heard about "ruining the environment", "poisons in our food", "being removed from nature" -- we are far healthier and better nourished than we ever have been in the past. We've got much less burden of infectious disease, vitamin D deficiency, and anemia that stunted our growth. Be grateful.
