People are actually taller, on average, than they were even as short a time ago as 100 years. Even their beds were shorter.
From Wikipedia: Human height is regulated by many factors. Since the development of modern medicine and plentiful nutrient-rich food in the developed world average height has increased dramatically.

I don't want to think so negative, but I'd like to think on a more open and positive note that maybe we're evolving back to our previous state: a monkey. Just kidding!!!!
Toothpick women are watching too much Hollywood stars! Unless you're skinny, because you want to stay fit and healty.
And did you ever notice the old paintings of women a long time ago? They seemed to have real bodies and were appreciated for real curves back then.

where are you living??? anyway, my belief is that people that are more athletic (but not so athletic that their growth is stunted) will be a little bit taller than those who are less active. Genetics plays a big role too. But maybe it's the inactivity that's causing this.

I'm a 5'10" female....as a result a good amount of men are shorter than me, or the same height. I just think of them as man concentrate, tho ;)

one myth claims that people have become smaller as we devolve, basically... into the 5th age, which has hobbit sized people
in fact, many myths suggest 5 ages of the world, this being the very end of the 4th

I've got twin boys that are 6'4". They're 22 and looking for tall partners, not having much luck.

Gravity...that is the answer and McDonald's food...people are now fatter and because of that weight more gravity is placed upon their bodies...making it harder to grow taller.
