Different culture groups grow differently for example im a black girl who is bigger in size of my chest and hips. My white friend Alana has a smaller chest and hips and most of my other white friends do too. Is it because of our ansestors and the food we grew up to it? What is it?

I think it has less to do with food and your own growth and more to do with ancestry- Our bodies developed differently due to the regions where our ancestors came from and what their bodies needed to do to survive their environments. Anglos from colder climates tended to grow taller to maybe reach up more to the sun while us (I'm Mexican) from warmer climates didn't need to reach for the sun as much and tend to be shorter.

I'm also still trying to find out n understand. An American friend eats a lot less then me, but he's 6 1" about 190 lbs. I'm Chinese n eat only a slice of bread + jam for brekky, huge lunches, medium dinners n I'm only 118 lbs. He used to ask me "where does all that food go to" lol I believe it could well be hereditary

makes no difference what your race is; it's in the genes,i've seen white girls with figures that equal a blacks girls any day of the week we have a tendency to be big boned so that will cause extra pounds.perhaps their parents or grandparents were petite

i think you bring up a good point, genetics has a lot to do with it, but i think people from various areas of the world have certain traits, its how they adapt to the environment.

All cultures are built different.

It's genetics and hormones.
