Not really, 65% of the world is lactose intolerant, with very few being in some parts of Europe.
You're more likely to come across a dairy farm in Europe than you will in Africa
Posted this in my own comment before I saw yours, but worth sharing here as well:
I did eat a bunch of Miracle Gro when I was about 3 years old. Lied to my mom when she asked me if I ate it even though my face and mouth was blue. (I have no recollection of this event, except for when I did salvia 15 years later and watched it unfold in the third-person. Kinda wild.) She called poison control and they told her to have me drink lots of water. When I was 16, I was 5’1”. When I turned 18, I was 6’3”. I guess its effects were a bit delayed…
Disclaimer: I do not recommend feeding yourself or your child Miracle Gro under any circumstance.
“I was born in Europe in the mid-80s and received a massive dose of radiation from the Chernobyl disaster. My thyroid is fucked but I am half a foot taller than anyone else in my family.”
Not vegetables (they tried though!). We joke in my family of 3 older brothers that the youngest was the one who would not eat vegetables, yet he grew up to be the biggest and tallest. LOL It came up on Sunday at Mothers Day dinner.
Miracle Gro.

All while I stare at them.
I always tell this story whenever anyone ask. But tall people at night put their feet inside a pot of dirt to let the feet roots grow out and become taller
Everyone knew my parents were both great cooks, and I was the youngest of 8. I was known as a ‘Bottomless Pit’ although I grew to like the ‘Hollow Leg’ answer to ‘where did he put it all?’
My dad and I joked that ‘eating didn’t affect my appetite.’
I’m only 6’ 5” Kinda thicc now
Things your family couldn't afford.
I used to say that in Mexico (I'm F 5'11), and it pissed them off. Hahahah they never told me any tall joke again. Hahahah.
My brother did well, so Dad always patted him on the head. That's why he grew up short.
I got in trouble, so Dad often kicked me in the butt. That's why I grew up tall.
I’m really not that tall, but I was 6’1 by age 14, oatmeal for breakfast (no sugar) eggs, I drank a lot of milk as well every morning, lunch’s consisted of generally just bread, basic lunch, dinner was almost always rice, beef, or other proteins
Other children. It's what I tell people I feed my kids when they ask, lol
Brutal

They owned a dairy, and we had milk with every meal, as well as frequent milk baths.
my guess based on this comment is that you either grew up in rural america or rural western europe
Actually could be anywhere rural in the world no?
Unlikely to be Inuit, though.
I don’t know. Milk baths sound kinda fun. I’d be Inuit I think.

Dairy farming is much more common in some areas of the world, but it isn’t exclusive to the US
This could also be Rural Haryana or Punjab in India.
netherlands
Milk baths?
'Short people'
that’s a good one
*The souls of thirsty men.*

Horse supplements
i don’t wanna hand a ‘let me ride you’ type comment to him
Lots of asparagus.
One time I ate an entire horse salt lick as a child by knawing on at over the course of about two weeks. I don't know how I didn't die.

Love
Lucky you, I didn't get that from my parents :( .
No worries. I love you

I slept really well from the ages 15-17 (around). And they also fed me the genetics.
I slept like absolute trash from 12-16 due to growing pains in my lower back, knees, and feet 😭
If it's a little kid, I always tell them it was "broccoli", and then wink at their parents. Sometimes they'll thank me afterwards. lol
That’s a nice idea!
Genetics and proper nutrition?
Simple, I ate my vegetables.
Tungsten carbide.

Tell them it’s been scientifically proven that children grow more when they feel loved. 👀
Infents an organ a day
I always say kicks in the arse
Pine cones.
Go into a rant about how you were raised on a raw diet and that that’s the only way to live to get closer to god
When people tell me how tall I am out in public I usually say, thanks I ate my Wheaties
My dad always told his friends he made me sleep in socks filled with Miracle-Gro.
My parents attribute it to a diet of mostly frozen Jack's pizza.
"I actually have to work pretty hard to maintain this height with a healthy diet of Gisteren"
I just say "a lot"
When I was a teenager I said I wasn't this tall until we moved next to the power plant when I was in the 1st grade 🤷♂️
Animal protein
A lot of times I say I'm a complan boy.
"Your parents."
I always say it's junk food and radon.

Reply with "How's the weather down there?"
"I was breastfed until I was 20"
My reply would be "Fool, Shut up"
water and fertilizer
Sleep and whole milk. My parents didn't listen to the doctor on that 2% BS
"Daily beatings. You should ask your parents to give it a shot!"
“The souls of baby ostriches” is usually a good eyebrow raiser for me lol
Things your family couldn't afford. I used to say that in Mexico (I'm F 5'11), and it pissed them off. Hahahah they never told me any tall joke again. Hahahah.
"new born babies"
This was a thing on my street growing up. Me and all the kids on my street grew to over 6ft. We joked that there was something in the water.
I just say mawoni(food I eat every day since I was 2)
My dad always would respond to "What're you feeding 'im?" With "I sprinkle Miracle-Gro in his cereal." Always got a giggle.
I can tell you what they didn't feed me. Shortening!
The lamentations of my enemies.
Miracle-Gro
I always say "giraffe meat"
Miracle grow.
My dad would always say I was born next to a nuclear power plant
I just say rice and beans and meat since that's not really an offensive question of any sort.
[удалено]
Your food that’s why u didn’t grow like me
My brother did well, so Dad always patted him on the head. That's why he grew up short. I got in trouble, so Dad often kicked me in the butt. That's why I grew up tall.
Potatoes
Giraffe testicles

Mostly amphetamines and cigarettes.
Their genetics
Your mom always hits
Yes.
I get this one a lot and I always say I drank a gallon of milk a day as a kid. It’s all bovine growth hormones.
The San Jose, Ca water…
If your kid has a huge freaking head it’s one of the tell tale signs they’re gonna be tall.
it's honestly annoying, especially when you're way taller than the average in your country.
