Is it possible that in general, kids are getting taller?!


Question:

Is it possible that in general, kids are getting taller?

My family and i go out to eat regularily (cousins aunts uncles etc) and the youngest boy (14) is the tallest followed by me (15) and then another cousin who is 18. My uncles and dad are the shortest.
I see this all the time. Is it possible that over the decades, kids have eaten more and more food that allows for growth?


Answers:

Ah, well my answer here will be using info on US citizens. Children are getting taller because their hormones are activating sooner and making alot. This is due to fast food and other unhealthy habits that have an effect on the body. Not to mention a lower quality lifestyle and health system.

Unfortunately, the hormones will stop sooner due to "using it all up". This will actually cause shortness. This is also why Americans are transferring their height to their stomachs; at one point, the Americans were the tallest in the world at 6 feet, but fell 5 inches over a period of 200 years behind the Europeans.

keep a healthier life!
