Of course it is and to understand their thought process you must first think like a parasite

It's normal for ANY intelligent person to realize nutrition had an effect on height, not just liberals.

There is no denying that politics does play a role in the size of one's pants though; here's the proof:

Using the word normal and liberal in the same sentence seems like a stretch to me !


That said I'm not rich by any realm of the imagination but 3 of my 4 sons are 6 foot or above

he was stating that nutrition can stunt, or improve growth. he did say that it's based on genetics otherwise.

 

[ChewyIvan2]

Yes. It is also true. Genetics is only a predisposition, but a person needs the proper nutrition to reach the height they are genetically predisposed to achieve.

If you take two twins, feed one well and feed the other barely enough to survive, the well-fed one will be slightly taller than the malnourished one since his or her body will have had more building blocks to work with.

Um, there is a definite relationship. Spend some time in the developing world.

Asians are typically shorter than Westerners and they have tended to eat less meat. A link to diet seems possible

It is a contributing factor.
