I am Dutch and tall too. Way taller than my parents. However, I always suspected it has to do with things like growth hormone in meat instead of fresh food.

- Phemist 10y agoI agree, there probably are specific foodstuffs in our diet now (such as dairy & meat) that cause growth above other foodstuffs, but these have become more affordable across the board due to "early-access" availability in the distribution chain (with a major component of that being the port)
- spiderfarmer 10y agoGrowth hormones have been banned in the Netherlands since 1961 and usage wasn't widespread beforehand.
- bitserf 10y agoI am of Dutch descent, but I have never set foot in the Netherlands. Somehow, though, I am much taller (6'1) than my dad and his father, who were both pretty short (5'2).
