Why I’m Short(er)

Blogdex had a link today to a New Yorker article about average heights of different people/populations around the world and throughout history.  It seems that the average height in the US has remained essentially the same for the past 50 years whereas European heights have increased quite a bit in that same period.

The article’s long, but it’s a rather interesting read.  Throughout it, I kept thinking things like “okay, gotta remember that when I have kids"…
