I'm 6'1" and my boyfriend is 6 '5". One time we were in the supermarket and we saw this east Asian lady who was definitely under 5' looking at an item on the top shelf. You could tell she was trying to figure out how to climb up to grab it. We grabbed it for her and she started smiling and saying 'thank you' which was the limit of her English. Just then I dropped something. I looked down at it on the floor. I have really bad arthritis and my boyfriend has a bad hip so the floor was really far away for both of us. That sweet lady picked up and handed it to me! The humor of the situation hit us and we all started cracking up. People kept staring at us which just made it funnier. But seriously, it's so much easier on the body when you date someone taller than you.
How is it easier on the body to date someone taller than you? I'd assume any height difference, whether it be shorter or taller, would be more difficult than if you're dating someone who's around the same height as you. Don't need to look up or down all the time or bend your body to kiss.
@@ak5659 I guess you should have done stretching or some kind of body work when you were younger. I've been doing that 6 days a week and now I hardly ever have problems bending down. You can be as tall as humanly possible, but if your having trouble bending down to pick something up, you're in trouble. Also it doesn't really matter how tall your partner is in terms of you "having it easier on the body", whatever that means. Your partner could have been 5'0, and he could have helped you if his hip was good.
The fact that he went through all this effort for a 4 minute video is crazy, you're so underrated and the quality is just crazy, if only you'd filmed more tho, keep up the good work king.
I'm from Indonesia, which is a Southeast Asian country, and I'm 169 cm tall. People in my country are not much different in height from people in Laos and regarding food, it's worth admitting, in almost all of Southeast Asia, the foods that are often consumed are mostly tall foods. carbohydrates and is relatively filling rather than healthy
Judging from the last two videos about height in countries, getting the right nutrients doesnt necessarily make you taller, but it can make you shorter if you dont get enough of it. Good videos my bro!

I am from Laos, 5”10’. Most of those venders are Vietnamese or people from villages. The best answer is to check it out at a college or university. This would give an average height. The uniformed man was a department security guard. Presumably he’s from village. City peeps wouldn’t take the job, bc of low salary. Often time, peeps from villages are minorities who are lack of basic nutrition, which may explain why they tend to be shorter than city peeps.

Hey Joe wanted to say that this was a great video and very interesting. I'm Lao and didn't realize that Laos had the shortest people, but its actually true. I'm glad you were able to travel to Laos and explain how your experience was like while comparing how the environment is so much more different.

Thank Joe for being and inspiration to me and others, have a beautiful blessed day.
From my observation as a Southeast Asian resident, especially in Indonesia, which ranks among the top 10 shortest countries with an average height of only 158 cm, it is likely similar to Laos. I'm not familiar with Laos, but based on what I've observed in my country, the younger generation now receives more balanced nutrition, resulting in heights ranging from 168 to even 180 cm. I myself have a height of 175 cm, born to a father who is 165 cm tall and a mother who is 155 cm tall. I can conclude that due to globalization, our diets have become more universal and sometimes influenced by Western trends. Listening to stories from my grandmother, who only ate rice, vegetables, and cassava every day and had a height of only 150 cm, I am confident that this is 80% due to diet. However, they were not entirely lacking in food; they simply did not prioritize meat, milk, etc., likely because the warm climate is conducive to year-round cultivation, reducing the need for meat to fill their stomachs. Additionally, meat processing in the past was more complicated and expensive.
I was born in 1971 and the height is 165 cm, it is true that diet for most of people in Indonesia is carbo. My sons were born in 1998 and 2002 and I change the diet for my kids with a lot of protein and more calcium and then the result is the older height is 171 cm and the youngest is 178 cm : Btw my wife height is only 158 cm 😁 and I hope my grand son/daughter will get growth higher
yeah but don't discount the influence of diet, exercise, nutrition, diseases, etc. In the 1870s, the average British man was 5'5 but by the 1970s, it was 5'10.
Diet + Genetics. Genetics is the natural limit set by your parents, and diet is the limiter to that limit. Even genetics may change over the course of a few generations if selection favors tall people, not to say there’s anything wrong with being small in a modern setting given how I myself am 5’7”.
Reminded me of my travel in Indonesia. I'm also 6'4". I'm blonde, blue eyed and the number of people asking for a picture with me was astounding. I'd have women trying to sneak selfies with me. I felt like a celebrity. My ex wife wasn't having it.
Dude, blonde, blue eyed gets you far, I'm only 6 foot but people take pictures with me when I am in regions where it is less common. Feels great doesn't it?
Bro you're such a great motivator. Thanks to your videos I started working really hard on my body and even trying to film my workouts to become an influencer too. Keep it up man.
Nutrition makes a huge difference. More than a decade ago, I was right at the average height for males in Vietnam and a decade later, I was shorter than the male average by a whole 10cm. The people you saw in the market are Vietnamese if I'm not mistaken so you need to look elsewhere for Laotian.
The calorie density of diet has no influence on height unless in a severe deficit or deficient in certain vitamins or minerals which an entire country or continent is likely not in. It is all genetic. South Asia is built up of many islands. Thousands of years ago when the first settlers arrived, there wasn't enough food to support their large body mass, so the taller, larger ones died out, and the shorter, smaller ones survived as they needed less calories to survive so over time the population height decreased. Studied this in my Biology degree recently so just thought i would clear it up but great video otherwise!
Diet does have an influence. You will learn later on in life that what you learn in High School and College can sometimes be incorrect. My nutrition class in college 10 years ago claimed canola oil was good for your health. Canola oil is one of the worst things for your health btw.
Diet has no influence in height unless you are malnutritioned or deficient in certain compounds, otherwise it is all genetic. I am in my 3rd year of a bachelors degree of biology :)@@Monkofthecaribbean
what about countries like South Korea, where on average, the younger generations are significantly taller than their previous? nutrion must play a big part there.

I don’t really see another future to be frank. It’s just the dude is 6’4 ripped looks handsome which made it easier for him to become an influencer and I am afraid that this is how reality works at this day and age, the most good looking people gets promoted / hired compared to other counterparts. This isn’t self obsession but more of a side hustle , you gotta play with the cards you’re dealt with for eg from his side. Blame the technology for creating this massacre , not the people being influencers.

He doesn't get it in the west so he has to go to other countries for it, which is what a lot of obnoxious white people who can't get laid do; go to Asian countries for attention and sex
If you wondered why countries in ASEAN is short. You’ve got a simple answer, “Culture”. Yes, we’re different from Europe or America about the daily food we consume. Rice is the number one food product, which contains a lot of Carbohydrates. Especially Indonesia. More than 270 million people are rice cosumers. So that’s why oftentime Indonesia deficits of rice
As a Filipino guy I kinda feel them, though I am 5'6" which is slightly above average for men. Among my pinoy guy friends, I'm either the short guy or the average guy
The avarage height for men in PH is now 5'5. Many young Filipinos are now even between 5'5-5'7. Even for women, many of them are now at least 5' or above. Still short compared to the rest of the world but there is some progress nevertheless lol
@hayabusa1329 well roughly half will always be below averagr ...so that is normal. People think that most people will be above the average ...they won't.
I was born in the Philippines, and they have some of the shortest height averages in the world as well. Last time I went, I stuck out like a sore thumb every single place I went to. I spent a bit more than a month to visit family and I spotted maybe 10 people total that were taller than me and I was only 5’11 that time.
I'm a Filipino and I can relate to your situation. Although I'm shorter than you at 5'6.5 - 5'7, I am still taller than the average male Joe here in the Philippines. Went to church last Saturday and I was taller than 70% of the people who attended the mass. Crazy stuff fr HAHAHAH.
@@KyleNamiteVlogsThe mass might have been full of old people. There are noticeable differences in the average height between different generations in the PH. The younger ones are now usually taller than the older ones. I'm 20 and 5'10. Although still taller than average, the height difference between mine and most men around my age isn't that far.
Laos people are not short due to nutrition, i have lao classmates in high school and college, who are born in america and ate a american diet, and the men still hovered around 5'2, the women around 4'9. It goes the same with american born kids whos parents are from india, china, vietnam, etc. Even with a american diet, they still averaged their countries height. Im born in america and parents from southern china, and im 5'6.
Ok, but it is also the case that the heights of people in Asian countries like Japan, Korea and China are increasing due to better nutrition. And Dutch people used to be much shorter a century ago. Shorter too than Americans half a century ago.
Well it depends, I’ve run into a lot of oversea Chinese students at uni, and some of them are quite tall, a selective few must be 195+cm tall. On average I would say most Chinese guys I’ve come across are around 173-5cm on avg which is not too shabby.
I know Joe wasn't necessarily saying this in the video but not all people in Laos have stunted growth, but rather there wasn't an evolutionary advantage to be tall if it just meant u needed more of that good food to support you, therefore shorter genetics won out with the lower food supply. Meaning if you brought a kid from Laos and raised them somewhere else, they wouldn't grow taller.
I will agree with the first comment here. All my cousins are short but my mom got posted on a farming land where beans, poultry,diary and meat where abundant so we grew up eating all the necessary food. My brother is 6'0,my sister 5'5 and I am 5'6. My cousins on other hand (from both my parents sides) are around 5'7 (men) and 5'3 (women).
I’m 5’6. Even strangers would look at me weirdly if I consider myself short. Seems like you’ve had one of the best times of your life. Couldn’t be more jealous of you.
I am Vietnamese and I don’t even know that there are so many Vietnamese in Laos. You were actually in a Vietnamtown in Laos. Even the guardian you took photo with looks 99% percent Vietnamese. The reason at the end of video is somehow, absolutely right.
He reason was probably natural selection due to the climate. Shorter and more compact in general is great for wet tropical environment: less surface area/volume means less water on your body. Similar argument for certain African populations: tall and slim helps to dissipate body heat more efficiently. For Europeans, their look has to do with the cold. I remember watching a more detailed video about it, if I find it I'll link it here. I just find the food argument very week especially in modern days.
Food effects epigenetics over generations. As an example AASI Hunter Gatherers (an ancient South Asian population) had 6"1 + males and females on an average according to archeological evidence. But modern day South Asians are generally short arouns 5'5 on an average due to grain based, carb-based diet with least meat, along with many having famine-selected genes. Similarly, Dutch were once among short people of Eurasia . But within 2 centuries they have made immense changes to diet and become the tallest in the world.
Also your statement also may have some truth in it. Because homo florensis also called hobbit man, was found in Southeast Asia. Limited resources may have enfirced natural selection for smaller people
I'm an average height Polish guy 178cm and here in New York I regularly encounter Filipino, Laotian, Viet, Chinese and Indian guys who are all around my height. It seems like most Asians here are far taller than their eastern counterparts
178 is a decent height. Not too tall not too short JUST RIGHT. The taller the more likely you will have health issues later in life. Cancer becomes far far more common.
What u expect? These videos are to make himself feel good and be like look “ short people”. Just look at the comments. They treat these people like a cirus
A topic I’m very interested in and yes, diet is a huge factor. My brother is about 172cm and I’m 187cm. He hated vegetables and sport and I had plenty of both. Genetics are the biggest factor though, your born with a certain height range and depending on what you do during 2 growth windows (ages 3-5 and during early puberty) will determine whether you reach your maximum or minimum adult height range.
well think about how tall your ancestors are, you can't just blame him as if Vegetables were key for growth, there's always some variety with genes and u got lucky
@@lorenzospitaleri It was a totally different lifestyle that we led. Not only did I eat much better, but I constantly played sports from when I was old enough to walk where my brother just played video games. Both genetics and lifestyle are a factor, with the general belief being that genetics gives you a height range and your lifestyle will determine where in that height range you fall.
This reminds me of the time when my friend Mike went from the UK to Indonesia for work but his suitcase ended up in Australia. Could he find any clothes in Indonesia that fitted him? No! Apparently the jackets he could find only came halfway down his forearms and the trousers only went halfway down his shins.
Sounds like you're poor shaming. They're wealthy locals too but still in their average height. Its all simply because of genetics. If you are going to talk about diet, I attest that South East Asian diet is more organic and healthier than the western.
organic though healthier are actually much smaller then nonorganic just look at organic fruits/vegs and animals that a feed organic food they much smaller than their nonorganic counterpart.
It's not true. People like animals also evolve according to their surroundings, in tropical regions people tend to be skinny. In hilly regions also tend to be small and agile, so that they are fit for environment. A heavy bulky person will consume much more energy to move than a lean small person.
That is why China has introduced dairy products in their diet as they were impressed when they watched on TV for the first time the Olympic Games. They were fascinated at how athletes were like giants. So the government had a mission to make its people stronger. Hence lots of infant formula promotion and dairy products claiming making stronger and taller children so that they will be bullied less by foreigners (historically they were perceived as weak and tiny by foreigners ) . Problem is that dairy caused a spike in incidence of lots of chronic inflammatory illnesses and cancer in China… (the China Study) .
*Me who is apparently 5'0ft* "Finally a country where I don't feel short~" Serious note, I had a feeling it would be an Asian country as typically most Asian people lean on the shorter side. Not everyone, but usually. So it being Laos doesn't surprise me at all.
South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world with severe malnutrition, but it holds the record for the number of tall men. Genetics therefore plays a big role
Did you have fun there? I’m also considering traveling to south-east asia but the potential awkwardness is holding me back. I’m 6ft5, and yes from the netherlands 😅
He used to say he is 6'3 but he was always noticeably shorter than his brother who was also supposedly 6'3 at that time lol. He is prob 6'1 or just bit over
Go pretty much anywhere is S E Asia and you will feel tall, I'm just a smidge over 6 foot and when I was in Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia I felt massive.
@@MaalikFaun Yes, I'm measured my self to be 5'11 at morning and the average height for Thai men is 5'7 (even higher for younger generations) so being 5'11 in Thailand wouldn't considered me a giant but taller than 90% of male. but hey, height is also depends on area like, in school area i've met couples of people being my height or taller but outside the school i rarely sees taller one, but the differences between me and most people aren't that big (like 2-4 inches)

The calorie density of diet has no influence on height unless in a severe deficit or deficient in certain vitamins or minerals which an entire country or continent is likely not in. It is all genetic. South Asia is built up of many islands. Thousands of years ago when the first settlers arrived, there wasn't enough food to support their large body mass, so the taller, larger ones died out, and the shorter, smaller ones survived as they needed less calories to survive so over time the population height decreased. Studied this in my Biology degree recently so just thought i would clear it up but great video otherwise!
Diet does have an influence. You will learn later on in life that what you learn in High School and College can sometimes be incorrect. My nutrition class in college 10 years ago claimed canola oil was good for your health. Canola oil is one of the worst things for your health btw.
Diet has no influence in height unless you are malnutritioned or deficient in certain compounds, otherwise it is all genetic. I am in my 3rd year of a bachelors degree of biology :)@@Monkofthecaribbean
what about countries like South Korea, where on average, the younger generations are significantly taller than their previous? nutrion must play a big part there.
Fake news and bro even quotes his garbage degree 😂
@louoaopcoaoroiod5687 what caused the taller couple to have more surviving children?
In the future, they'll make documentaries on how self-obsessed influencers were in the past. He can't go anywhere without exposing his body, without recording people's reactions. I can't ever imagine being in a place mentally where I need other people's looks and validation in order to survive.
but thats what his whole channel is anout....bodybuilding and working out
Nah this dude is just super insecure and obnoxious
I don’t really see another future to be frank. It’s just the dude is 6’4 ripped looks handsome which made it easier for him to become an influencer and I am afraid that this is how reality works at this day and age, the most good looking people gets promoted / hired compared to other counterparts. This isn’t self obsession but more of a side hustle , you gotta play with the cards you’re dealt with for eg from his side. Blame the technology for creating this massacre , not the people being influencers.
@@evanreynolds1034 There's a difference between bodybuilding and non-stop shoving it in people's faces and then recording their reaction. He's a strange guy
@@minsharminni3177 Good on him for developing his body. But it's like winning a prize, and you wear it on yourself and walk around with it all day long and wanting praise for it. He doesn't get it in the west so he has to go to other countries for it, which is what a lot of obnoxious white people who can't get laid do; go to Asian countries for attention and sex
Joe, videos like this have to be longer. Incredible vid.
If you wondered why countries in ASEAN is short. You’ve got a simple answer, “Culture”. Yes, we’re different from Europe or America about the daily food we consume. Rice is the number one food product, which contains a lot of Carbohydrates. Especially Indonesia. More than 270 million people are rice cosumers. So that’s why oftentime Indonesia deficits of rice
Africans are tall to
Would be fun to see a busload of dutchman walking around in the worlds shortest country .
They were once walking for 3 century long in now what we called Indonesia 😂
Thanks bro for always sharing good content ❤
The guys being that much taller than Joe are insane 😂

they dont know what 5"11 is because they dont use outdated measurements

As a 5'9 here in Indonesia, its pretty common that i got complimented tall
Same, but I'm Brazilian. And for some reason everyone guesses that I'm taller than 6'0.
please make longer videos mannn they are soo good!!!!!
im a huge fan joe keep up the work ur my inspiration
As a Filipino guy I kinda feel them, though I am 5'6" which is slightly above average for men. Among my pinoy guy friends, I'm either the short guy or the average guy
The avarage height for men in PH is now 5'5. Many young Filipinos are now even between 5'5-5'7. Even for women, many of them are now at least 5' or above. Still short compared to the rest of the world but there is some progress nevertheless lol
@@jerryberry5480I still see many Filipinos under the average
@hayabusa1329 well roughly half will always be below averagr ...so that is normal. People think that most people will be above the average ...they won't.
That guy who said he's from Vietnam fumbled the bag.

Laos is also the most chill country on the planet with the friendlist people ever :)
Nah bro malaysia,indonesia are better than
its crazy that in laos 1.60m guys are common but in netherlands 2m guys are common.
Joe you so fun to watch, i need a longer video :(
I was born in the Philippines, and they have some of the shortest height averages in the world as well. Last time I went, I stuck out like a sore thumb every single place I went to. I spent a bit more than a month to visit family and I spotted maybe 10 people total that were taller than me and I was only 5’11 that time.
How tall r u now
@@grapefruitsyrup8185 About 6’2-6’3
I'm a Filipino and I can relate to your situation. Although I'm shorter than you at 5'6.5 - 5'7, I am still taller than the average male Joe here in the Philippines. Went to church last Saturday and I was taller than 70% of the people who attended the mass. Crazy stuff fr HAHAHAH.
@@KyleNamiteVlogsThe mass might have been full of old people. There are noticeable differences in the average height between different generations in the PH. The younger ones are now usually taller than the older ones.
I'm 20 and 5'10. Although still taller than average, the height difference between mine and most men around my age isn't that far.
@@Allin1Xavidamn must be nice being tall😂😂
Laos people are not short due to nutrition, i have lao classmates in high school and college, who are born in america and ate a american diet, and the men still hovered around 5'2, the women around 4'9. It goes the same with american born kids whos parents are from india, china, vietnam, etc. Even with a american diet, they still averaged their countries height. Im born in america and parents from southern china, and im 5'6.
it's because of their DNA, it would take 1000 years before the gene pool gets mixed
Because its generational xD
Ok, but it is also the case that the heights of people in Asian countries like Japan, Korea and China are increasing due to better nutrition. And Dutch people used to be much shorter a century ago. Shorter too than Americans half a century ago.
Well it depends, I’ve run into a lot of oversea Chinese students at uni, and some of them are quite tall, a selective few must be 195+cm tall. On average I would say most Chinese guys I’ve come across are around 173-5cm on avg which is not too shabby.
Just because you move to America doesn't mean you eat an American diet fool
Go to the Basketball hall, and you'll always find tall player right there.
Tall or short, remember you are loved, you are worthed and you are valued.
Greetings from indonesia here to all my neighbour southeast asian 👋👋👋
I know Joe wasn't necessarily saying this in the video but not all people in Laos have stunted growth, but rather there wasn't an evolutionary advantage to be tall if it just meant u needed more of that good food to support you, therefore shorter genetics won out with the lower food supply. Meaning if you brought a kid from Laos and raised them somewhere else, they wouldn't grow taller.
Height is 50% genetics 50% diet, that’s a fact. Height has gone up worldwide in the last 100 years, a lot of that is due to better nutrition.
@@redtitan8243 Source on the 50% 50% ? Height was going up even during famines and wars in Europe.
@@redtitan8243 its more that taller people dont die off from famines now cos food is plentiful what diet u have wont rly change much ur born with it
Havent you heard of epigenetics? It takes a while to reverse the effects of malnutrition on a bloodline.
I will agree with the first comment here.
All my cousins are short but my mom got posted on a farming land where beans, poultry,diary and meat where abundant so we grew up eating all the necessary food.
My brother is 6'0,my sister 5'5 and I am 5'6.
My cousins on other hand (from both my parents sides) are around 5'7 (men) and 5'3 (women).
I’m 5’6. Even strangers would look at me weirdly if I consider myself short. Seems like you’ve had one of the best times of your life. Couldn’t be more jealous of you.
Because you aren't short, you're even above average woman height for most countries.

Man I wished this video was longer, it was getting interesting
Your content is so underrated earned a sub
This channel is actually so good. Your videos are fun, informative, and very very interesting. Keep up the good videos!
Hey man, I’m from Laos and I feel so bad so much poor in 🇱🇦
I am Vietnamese and I don’t even know that there are so many Vietnamese in Laos. You were actually in a Vietnamtown in Laos. Even the guardian you took photo with looks 99% percent Vietnamese. The reason at the end of video is somehow, absolutely right.
You could have easily streched this video to 8 minutes for monetization. But you kept it under 4, straight to the point, love it!
He reason was probably natural selection due to the climate. Shorter and more compact in general is great for wet tropical environment: less surface area/volume means less water on your body.
Similar argument for certain African populations: tall and slim helps to dissipate body heat more efficiently.
For Europeans, their look has to do with the cold.
I remember watching a more detailed video about it, if I find it I'll link it here.
I just find the food argument very week especially in modern days.
Food effects epigenetics over generations. As an example AASI Hunter Gatherers (an ancient South Asian population) had 6"1 + males and females on an average according to archeological evidence. But modern day South Asians are generally short arouns 5'5 on an average due to grain based, carb-based diet with least meat, along with many having famine-selected genes.
Similarly, Dutch were once among short people of Eurasia . But within 2 centuries they have made immense changes to diet and become the tallest in the world.
Also your statement also may have some truth in it. Because homo florensis also called hobbit man, was found in Southeast Asia. Limited resources may have enfirced natural selection for smaller people
Every girl was happy after seeing him 😂
I'm an average height Polish guy 178cm and here in New York I regularly encounter Filipino, Laotian, Viet, Chinese and Indian guys who are all around my height. It seems like most Asians here are far taller than their eastern counterparts
178 is a decent height. Not too tall not too short JUST RIGHT. The taller the more likely you will have health issues later in life. Cancer becomes far far more common.
Selection effects
@@MrDefiance000 Its tall in Asia though. 173cm+ is above average here
Nie, w Polsce to już 180 cm
Never lose hope you never know what tomorrow may bring.
I hope you’re going to do a video on how beautiful their culture is… the only video you do shouldn’t be how short and poor the country is.
What u expect? These videos are to make himself feel good and be like look “ short people”. Just look at the comments. They treat these people like a cirus
hahahahahahahahha brutal world ngl. @@tim1traitimaccount269
A topic I’m very interested in and yes, diet is a huge factor. My brother is about 172cm and I’m 187cm. He hated vegetables and sport and I had plenty of both.
Genetics are the biggest factor though, your born with a certain height range and depending on what you do during 2 growth windows (ages 3-5 and during early puberty) will determine whether you reach your maximum or minimum adult height range.
well think about how tall your ancestors are, you can't just blame him as if Vegetables were key for growth, there's always some variety with genes and u got lucky
@@lorenzospitaleri
It was a totally different lifestyle that we led. Not only did I eat much better, but I constantly played sports from when I was old enough to walk where my brother just played video games.
Both genetics and lifestyle are a factor, with the general belief being that genetics gives you a height range and your lifestyle will determine where in that height range you fall.
My friend hates veggies but she is still tall lol. Height is 80% genetics
😢my sister hated vegetables still 5'4 and I'm only 5'8😢 maybe genetics

This reminds me of the time when my friend Mike went from the UK to Indonesia for work but his suitcase ended up in Australia. Could he find any clothes in Indonesia that fitted him? No! Apparently the jackets he could find only came halfway down his forearms and the trousers only went halfway down his shins.
So? By being taller, do u think u are superior? NO arrogant westerners!
The real question is
How did his suitcase ended up in Australia?
@@HWDragonborn This was a BA flight to Sydney that had a stopover in Jakarta. He disembarked at Jakarta but his case stayed in the hold.
video idea: i travelled to the worlds strongest country
That's either Russia or Iceland an no other
Not going to lie, I was taken aback at how abruptly the video ended. I'm so used to videos dragging on for over 10 minutes, so that's probably why.
I love your little travel vlogs! I'm 6"3 and lived in China for some time and always felt strange walking around being a head taller than everyone :)
I've heard that the Chinese have gotten taller? Is that true or an exaggeration?
@@Randomdud_69420e They grown taller.A century ago they were among shortest people but now among tallest in asia
Sounds like you're poor shaming. They're wealthy locals too but still in their average height. Its all simply because of genetics. If you are going to talk about diet, I attest that South East Asian diet is more organic and healthier than the western.
organic though healthier are actually much smaller then nonorganic just look at organic fruits/vegs and animals that a feed organic food they much smaller than their nonorganic counterpart.
"I could have given away a million to them, but no one was tall enough because they're too poor."
This video, essentially 🤣🤣
It's not true. People like animals also evolve according to their surroundings, in tropical regions people tend to be skinny. In hilly regions also tend to be small and agile, so that they are fit for environment. A heavy bulky person will consume much more energy to move than a lean small person.
well fat people are everywhere now

That is why China has introduced dairy products in their diet as they were impressed when they watched on TV for the first time the Olympic Games. They were fascinated at how athletes were like giants. So the government had a mission to make its people stronger. Hence lots of infant formula promotion and dairy products claiming making stronger and taller children so that they will be bullied less by foreigners (historically they were perceived as weak and tiny by foreigners ) . Problem is that dairy caused a spike in incidence of lots of chronic inflammatory illnesses and cancer in China… (the China Study) .
Joe is such a talented content creator!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Me who is apparently 5'0ft* "Finally a country where I don't feel short~"
Serious note, I had a feeling it would be an Asian country as typically most Asian people lean on the shorter side. Not everyone, but usually. So it being Laos doesn't surprise me at all.
Well compare yourself to the younger generation living in the urban areas and let’s see what happens.
Quality and never quantity!

South Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world with severe malnutrition, but it holds the record for the number of tall men. Genetics therefore plays a big role
