I was born in 1950 and am over 6’2”. Never once did I or anyone in my extended family ever get or see powdered government milk, or cheese for that matter.
I’d add that my dad never finished 5th grade and his family were share croppers in South Carolina. My mother was part of a family that subsisted during the depression by growing their own food and even looking for wild greens in the woods.
I don’t discount nutrition. But what I am talking about as what I perceive is a marked difference over 200-300 years isn’t just nutrition.
So?
And you think your family didn't eat better in the 1950's then they did in the 1930's?
But what I am talking about as what I perceive is a marked difference over 200-300 years isnt just nutrition.
And you are wrong.
Suggest you read a few books on Forensic anthropology. They show that the biggest thing that drives the size of a population is nutrition.
