>What is immigration?

• seizethecheese 8y ago
  Not sure why you’re being downvoted. Immigrants into the USA come from shorter countries so that is a likely factor.

    It's amazing how much taller second and third generation immigrants are than their parents/grandparents. It's all diet. I'm ten inches taller than my grandfather and 7 inches taller than my dad. When I was a kid I remember my granda joking about eating 'white people food' like milk, peanut butter and jelly, and hamburgers, and that being why I got so tall.

      I'm curious if this is mainly due to the diet being healthier, or due to hormones that are given to cows and eventually transferred to the consumer.

      Like most things, it’s probably half environmental and half genetic.

    I'd say for two reasons. Firstly, the article suggests that immigrants were controlled (whites and blacks compared) for so it appears this poster is commenting on something without even reading it, and secondly, the style of the comment makes it clear the commenter is a smug prick with a belief in their own smartness beyond their actual ability - nobody likes a smug prick who doesn't even read the article.
