Not ALL Americans are short. There are plenty of tall Americans, your being too... I don't even know a word for it.

I am 5' 10" tall. And I am American...my Dad is 6' 2" tall and he is the short one in his family. The others are 6'4" and up. My Mom was short at 5' 6" so that shortened me a little.

Funny, they just had this on GMA this morning. Americans are shorter than all the other industrial nations because we do not have socialized medicine. In those countries that do (Unlike here), the children, during their formative years, get all the health care they need when they need it. Hence their bodies energy and nutrition goes into growth; not repairs.
As a matter of fact adults in the Netherlands (the tallest of the industrial nations) are a full 10" taller than adults in the U S of A !

Because americans diet is worse than Norwegians' or other people across the atlantic.
We tend to eat worse than any of the other countries, which is also visible because of obesity rates.
Americans tend to eat cheaper food.
Just google "Why are americans so short?"

It is the people from different parts of the world who had
come to live and make their home in USA they are Chinese too who are shorter then most of the people.
This inter-breeding between the species produces
the genes for shorter growth.
Pretty soon we may have people with yellow skin
with brown hair.

Compared to who? Norwegians? Aside from some Scandanavians, Americans are the tallest I think. I'm 5 11.
