 Hey I come from China and it is a developing country so O.C the GenZ's average height got taller than the last geenration by around 1.5cm and according to the height data of previous generations, until GenZ, each newer generation's average height is taller than the older generation by around 1.5cm.
 However most of developed countries' average heights have reached their peaks and cannot crawl on anymore, especially European countries. But the average heights of Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina and other countries like these haven't peaked and crawl on and on although they are already very tall like around 183cm+. And it is the same with some tall African countries.

The average height for men are going up exponentially because of better nutrition. What country are you from?

That's true but the benefits to height from nutritions subjects to Marginal utility and beyond the certain threshold, nutritions will only increase weights, and if you are not a dwarfism, then medicine won't help you grow taller although they may lead you to more reasonable meals, and that's why developed countries like America, Norway, and similar countries have peaked their average heights cuz the factors that can determine the heights have limited contributions to the average height.

There is a hearsay from one of my friends that Japan, South Korea, western countries are adding growth hormone into the foods, drinks to compulsorily increase boys' and girls' heights and I also heard that Growth Hormone is a commonplace for those boys and girls whose growth plates are not fused yet to increase heights.
But isn't it ridiculous cuz Growth Hormone is a treatment for dwarfisms and cannot increase normal ppl's heights otherwise they will get tumor, acromegaly, and etc cuz their Growth Hormones are not deficient.

You are overstating unless you are far away from 5'11 like 4'11 + no other positive characters.

Do you mean new White/Black generation? US's average height is being pulled down by Latins and Hispanics and other shorter races but White/Black generation is not getting shorter and shorter itself.

No. Hormones in the food are just making kids grow to their full potential faster.

Actually I think this kind of hearsay was created by some Chauvinists in China who are grudging taller and stronger foreigners especially if they are Japaneses or Americans.
