Wow its almost like mean height is affected by poverty and nutrition or something
Yeah I bet if you overlaid life expectancy it would map almost perfectly
I wonder if there are other non-obvious-once-you-think-about-it-and-stop-being-racist tells
Now do weight …
Amerikans winning, we greatest!
Greasiest
I think the British passed is a few years back.
We’re starving more people now, plus glp-1s.
Crazy! Did the small chinese hight come from malnourishment or hard labor? Otherwise that increase would be hard to describe right?
Better quality of nutrition - more protein and vegetables. Much more vegetables. An absurd amount more vegetables.
They also fixed their zinc deficiency, which has long been known to affect height.
But seriously, the vegetables.
Graphs pictured:
- Daily supply of calories that are available for consumption, Measured in kilocalories per person per day. 1985 to 2023
- Estimated share of the total population in each country with zinc intakes below physiological requirements, 1990–2005
- Average daily per capita protein supply, measured in grams of total protein per day, 1985 to 2023
- Average per capita vegetable consumption, measured in kilograms per person per year, 1985 to 2023
Wow. I need to upy vegetable game.
Unfortunately your government will not allow it on a large scale or allow you to do it too extensively on your own property.
the US doesn’t use cm

tfw I’m under the mean height for the netherlands
It’s real shortcel hours
The Dutch are incredible. Once upon a time they were the shortest people in Europe. Now they are the tallest in the entire world.
They do a lot of stretching.
German man is taller than me. That’s sad ;(
I see you have fallen into the “taller male dominant” trap. the great equalizer is the testicle strike - and you have the advantage :-)
What if it’s a really tall man with short legs and an extra long torso though?
It shows americans growing after a decline, this study from 2025 shows they’re still getting smaller
damn. Smaller Americans means less real estate to accumulate products from the food industry. Smaller stomachs are faster to fulfil
This is really fascinating!
welwp, at 186cm i’m about average in The Netherlands.
Is this the result of dating apps letting women filter men by their height?
It’s obviously the result of the Dutch living below the sea level and the short drowning, it’s quite sad actually.
You should add a /s unless you are serious.
I guess. Or everyone else should take a chill pill.
in this day and age, too many people think that way unironically, so if you want to act like a dumbass you must accept to be treated like a dumbass.
lol, relax man
Chill, if anyone is taking this post serious, he’s lacking /s in his life
You see when those countries started to use growth hormones in swine farming.
As far as I know India doesn’t eat so much pork. US most likely prefers beef.
Btw Asean people born and raised in West Europe grow tall as well. It must be the food. And to lower degree environment.
I’m tall because ham?
Growth hormones aren’t legal in farming in Europe (nor Canada).
Btw Asean people born and raised in West Europe grow tall as well.
Honestly not always the case. I find thst they’re generally shorter than the white people around.
It must be the food. And to lower degree environment.
Ethnic Indians that won’t eat pork in india don’t eat pork in europe, I find.
Your theory is interesting when applied to chinese people, who famously do love pork. Because the implication is that china is not already using swine growth hormones.
