When is the last time you were in Vegas? It's a whole city of obese walmart shoppers.

As far as the height thing I think it's natural evolution. The taller people stand out, get noticed, reproduce and have bigger kids. The food and water wasnt poisoned a hundred years ago like it is now and people were already getting taller. I've got friends who live in the historic section of St. Augustine (the oldest city in the country) and their house is referred to as 'the hobbit house'. She's 4'8", and he's 5'2". The house is perfect for them at over 200 years old you can tell how much shorter everyone was back then. I'm 6'3" and I have to duck through every door frame and in the bathroom I have to piss with my neck sideways and head against the ceiling!

The obese factor is definitely nefarious in nature. Maybe we are being plumped up for a harvest. If the "elite" plan was less than that they would have went a route that wouldn't have a population of cows consuming every natural resource to sustain their overweight bodies.
