European men are growing taller
Two centuries ago, American men were very tall; they were taller than Europeans. Today the situation is very different. It is the opposite – Europeans are taller than Americans. And the tallest of all are the Dutch.
We don't know the reason for this difference. And we don't know why Americans are not growing. Some people think it is because healthcare in Europe is very good, especially for small babies. In America many people don't get good healthcare. Another possible reason is the different foods we eat. Americans eat a lot of food and they are very fat: but perhaps they are not eating the right kinds of food.
