I didn't. And according to the article diet has a part to play - worrying.
How are you and your hubs doing?

Andrew said...

That's surprising but I immediately thought of why, and immigration was a strong point in my head. The linked article explains why very well.

Birgit said...

Wow! That’s amazing but I’m not surprised due to the obesity and sedentary life we have.

Elizabeth Seckman said...

Really? I wonder if it's our crappy diets?

'Geting shorter'...Well, that's not a disease, is it?

Valerie-Jael said...

No, I didn't. But since Christmas I have got wider! Hugs, Valerie

Sandra Cox said...

Birgit, It plays a role for sure.

Sandra Cox said...

EC, Diet and healthcare or a lack thereof and yes it is worrying.
Every day's a healing day here. Hope it's the same at your place.
Hugs,

Sandra Cox said...

Andrew, I found that interesting too.
Elizabeth, It factors in for sure.
FSG, There ya go. Actually, I did write a fantasy in which cats were as big as men:)
Jamie, It is indeed. Surprised me.
Val, Heh. That's what Christmas is for;) Hugs received and returned.
J.P., Who'd a thought. Right? Sending you hugs,

I didn't know that, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised because of our terrible diets, our couch potato lives, and the influx of people from other countries. My daughter said when she was in Amsterdam everyone was impossibly tall, blonde, and good looking.

Love,
Janie

I didn't know that. I wish I was taller. Then I could reach things on high shelves. And I could wear longer pants without having them altered.
