"A better diet is making us taller."
I remember from a couple of decades ago that there was some buzz that hunter-gatherers had been tall, then people shrunk as a result of agriculture limiting their diet, and now we're regaining the lost height.
I didn't say that a better diet is making us taller. I just said that a different diet is having that effect. Considering the obesity and heart issues so prevalent today that didn't exist 100 years ago, I seriously doubt that we have a better diet today.
