Perhaps, our decline is not a measure of our economy, nor our health, but of our dillution by immigrants from other shorter gene pools.

"But just as it has in so many other arenas, America's predominance in height has faded. Americans reached a height plateau after World War II, gradually falling behind the rest of the world as it continued growing taller."

This is sad. I have heard that many countries will not import our food because it is laden with chemicals, hormones, and so much of it it geneticaly modified. Our health care is no longer the best in the world either.
Oh well, we had a good 200 year run...
