This article is full of incorrect data. Obviously weight is diet and lifestyle. There is also a huge diet component to height while you're growing (between 4-23ish). If you're malnourished on McBeetus you're not going to be as tall as you would have been had you been fed well. There is a genetic component to height too, but nutrition while growing is also important.

Yes, your adult height is mostly a result of your genetics and nutrition in childhood. Guess how many fatties are going to come to that conclusion based on this article.

[Here's a hint, it's zero]

Yup. I was supposed to be 6'1" but I started smoking at 15, and drinking at 16, and I ate McBeetus every day for my last two years of high school. I am 5'10". BUT, I am totally cool with that because I am girl. Also, not fat. McBeetus was cheap and I was hungry. I would get their special Tuesday 35 cent burgers or I would go to the smarmy coffee shop next door and get a 1 dollar baguette with extra butter.
