You’re not overweight; you’re just not tall enough!
Yao Ming plays for the Houston Rockets. At 7 feet 6 inches, he is currently the tallest player in the NBA. Is Yao Ming so tall because he eats so much? Or does he eat so much because he’s so tall?
Of course the answer is that Ming’s height is due to high levels of human growth hormone and, because of his increased size, he eats more. So if that is the case with vertical growth, then why isn’t it the same with horizontal growth?
Or, watch the video by Dartmouth College about “Good Calories, Bad Calories.”
