Hmm, I don't buy that beef hormone thing. I live out in the East Coast now, and back home I was shorter than most of my guy friends, but here I seem to tower over them. I think a more likely reason people are taller in the midwest is because our ancesters were taller (Germans, Scandanavians, etc).
My mother: 5'1"
My dad: 5'9"-10"
My uncles: 5'8" to 6'0"
Me 6'0-6'2"
They told my mother when I was a child that I wouldn't be taller than 5'7".
Something changed.
