Why did the average height per capita begin to rise suddenly as the amount of meat available to residents increased in later generations?
Eating this piece accounts for a large proportion.
Some people say that foreigners’ genes are inherently higher than those of Chinese people.
In fact, it is not correct. If you are careful, you can look at some photos of foreigners and Chinese people taken together in the previous and later dynasties.
In fact, foreigners at that time were generally not tall, only about 1.7 meters tall, which was similar to Chinese people at that time.
Even compared to some men from Shandong Province, the men from the three eastern provinces are much shorter, especially the German garrison on Jiaozhou Island. There is a height gap between them and the locals.
The reason why foreigners are generally taller than Chinese people in later generations is mainly because after World War II, Chinese people experienced decades of barren life.
Maybe people born in the 1980s and those before the 1980s probably only remember malt extract as a supplement when they were young.
Chicken, duck, and fish were rarely seen when I was a child, especially those born in the 1970s and before. The ones born in the 1980s were relatively good.
Those of the older generation may only be able to eat meat during the holidays, and they are reluctant to eat even an egg they produce at home. They either use it as a gift or sell it on the street.
In such a situation, how can the body be fully developed?
But things have gotten better since the 1990s. Northerners born in the 1990s have generally started to become taller.
There are also some 1.8-meter-tall people in southern China. After 2000, it becomes even more serious. There is almost a gradual increase in the per capita height curve.
Of course, there are also many short people, mostly in the south, but apart from being a genetic problem, it is also a matter of eating.
Some of the post-00s are very tall, some are very short, and the very short ones, apart from genes, are caused by their own picky eaters.
Basically, children who are picky eaters, don't like eating meat very much, and have a bad appetite, if their genes are not particularly tall, it is almost difficult to achieve a relatively tall body shape in adulthood.
When the body grows, genes only account for a part, and a large part is still eaten. Whether you can eat or not, whether you eat too much or not, plays a big part.
And what about foreigners?
After World War II, those developed countries generally had good food and drink. Even before the war, some ordinary families could often drink beef and mutton, and occasionally eat meat.
After the war, the diet of developed countries generally still far exceeds that of domestic ones.
Until modern times, Chinese people are still inferior to foreigners in terms of per capita meat protein intake.
Even so, the new generation is actually not much inferior to foreigners.
If you only take the northern people who eat more meat, they are even much taller than the average height of many foreign countries.
This is also part of the reason why Zhao Ming pays special attention to his diet.
Eat well and eat more to have the strength to kill the enemy.
It would be an injustice if he lost his life due to lack of strength in a hand-to-hand fight with the Japanese.
An old revolutionary warrior once said in a narrative that the Japanese swords were very fierce, and the two men slashed at each other, almost breaking his jaw.
He was also a Shaolin disciple who had learned some boxing and kicking. He really couldn't imagine what other companions would be like facing this kind of enemy.
But are Japanese people really strong?
It's just that as the Anti-Japanese War progressed, the domestic soldiers were almost hungry and full.
The central army is better, but other local armies, every time they have a big meal, they seize the enemy's military cans.
On the way back, Zhang Kai still couldn't believe that such a big deal was just concluded.
I didn’t even expect that Zhao Ming’s idea could actually come true.
"So in this case, this is a three-way profit?!"
Zhang Kai was frightened when this thought came to his mind.
No wonder Zhao Ming didn't worry about food at all before.
What's there to worry about? They harvested wool from three different places. Apart from fighting, they didn't have to do anything, and they made so much food for nothing.
And war is what they want to fight, and the extra prisoners of war can also be used for mining, so they can make four ways!
Gudong! ~
After swallowing the saliva, Zhang Kai felt a little dizzy.
I didn’t expect that this barren land in Chabei could be played with by a boy like Zhao Ming.
This is a direct revitalization!
"Well, I can finally see that your Chief Zhao is not simple. If these few mistakes are made, the situation will be saved. Not only will the reputation be taken over by him alone, but he will also bring everyone together to benefit.
The pattern is different! I underestimated him. No wonder he wanted to come here. His ambitions are much greater than mine! "
At this time, Beishan, who was lying prone on the horse, sighed softly.
Now he has completely understood it, and because he understands it, he can't help but feel confused.
He had been staring at Zhao Ming since he arrived in Chahar. At first, he thought that the other party was probably similar to the previous ranches.
Moreover, the other party is so young, and he is not just for money but for political achievements. When the time comes, he will definitely be transferred to a higher place and promoted.
I never thought that his structure was still too small. Zhao Ming was very ambitious. From the beginning, he did not think about it just for political achievements or money.
The other party is controlled by the military and government, with the purpose of completely taking it for themselves.
It's a pity that it was too late to find out. If he had known this, why would he have to fight with the other party.
This kind of person will either be submissive and obedient to the other person, and then watch the other person either become successful and prosperous, or go crazy and completely perished.
Zhang Kai was too lazy to pay attention to Beishan, who looked a little crazy, and started arranging his team to cross the Outer Mongolia blockade.
When they were about a hundred miles away from the front line of Pingqiantun, Zhang Kai and his party found a hidden spot to rest on the spot.
In the early hours of the morning, we started to drive around quickly.
Although there are scouts wandering out in Outer Mongolia at night, their intensity of investigation is not that great.
From early morning until six or seven in the morning, a team of more than a hundred people arrived at Huozhongtun, dragging seven or eight trucks full of goods.
As soon as they arrived, they found that there seemed to be a lot of excitement outside Huo Zhongtun. In fact, just before they arrived, Wang Er, who had gone out to rob, also returned.
It turned out that just when they came back, Wang Er happened to detect signs of another escort team from Outer Mongolia.
This time the other party seems to have learned the lesson and decided to smear the enemy before moving forward. He never expected to encounter Wang Er, a killer.
Not to mention the thousands of captured herdsmen who took advantage of Huo Zhongtun, the hundreds of Outer Mongolian soldiers who were responsible for guarding were also killed and defeated.
Three to four thousand cattle and sheep were also lost.
Looking at the people outside who were constantly counting the goods and people, Zhang Kai was also quite surprised. He didn't expect that the Outer Mongolians were not smart enough.
Oh no, I was cautious this time, but not much.
"You're back, how was the conversation?" Zhao Ming also spotted Zhang Kai and stepped forward to ask.
"Well, we have already agreed. This is the first batch of 500 shi of grain, which can last for two or three days." Zhang Kai nodded and pointed to the carts of grain behind him.
Such a small amount of food is really not much for the growing population in the camp.
But it's just an add-on, and once it's settled, it means a big deal in the future.
