well, it turns out that more men born and raised in the USA are shrinking. I'm not worried as i have already surpassed the people in the netherlands....
Here's a bit of the story.....

Researchers have made a startling discovery: Americans are shrinking. A nation once famed for its strapping, well-nourished youth is gradually diminishing in physical stature.
Across the Netherlands hotel owners are lengthening beds and raising door mantles to stop the nation's tall youth suffering from irreparable anatomical damage.
At the time of the American Revolution, the average US male was two inches taller than his British counterpart. Today he is almost half an inch shorter.
