The surgeon breaks the patients' thigh bones and inserts nails that are extended with a magnetic remote control every day for three months, GQ said.

Sweet man-made horrors beyond my comprehension.

    Nutrition is only one of many factors, which is part of why it's so hard to isolate variables and study this shit.

    Sometimes you can see this in the same population over time as people get better access to food. IIRC the average height in China has been rising for a while now, most likely due to better nutrition.
