Height and diet?

How vital is a proper diet for development? I’ve come across information stating that primarily genetics dictate your height and that diet has a minor influence.

I was raised in a western country but had an unhealthy diet during my youth.
I wasn’t fond of milk but consumed it until the age of 13 while at school. I did eat cereal with milk, though I never did down it like some kids do.

Here in the United States, we used to see TV ads encouraging kids to drink milk to increase their height. I often ponder whether if I had just downed milk like other boys, would I have been taller? I’m approximately 5’9, but the males in my family are taller, most exceeding 6ft.
