A lot of people I know are taller than their parents. Is this a general trend you've noticed too? Is it true equally true in 3rd world countries like Pakistan and Singapore and in 1st world countries?

generally, yes. this is primarily the result of better nutrition and healthcare, as is most evident in the chinese population. whereas 2 or three generations ago, the majority of chinese lived mostly on rice and were quite small, with the introduction of greater variety into their diet they grow tremendously.
so yes, people are getting taller, and it is probably more evident in countries that until recently were very poor.

No. The trend now, is the opposite. People are growing shorter...
If you would compare the average height for a human being of around 200 years earlier to that of today, you would see the difference. This is in accordance with Darwins Theory of Evolution...

Height is determined both my genetics and nutrition.
I myself and 5'10, and I think its because all I ate as a kid was potatoes. Therefor, I think potatoes make people tall.
And, people in countries where potatoes and meat arent the main foods, tend to be smaller.
