ABSTRACT

ANIMALS are grown and slaughtered to provide nutritious meat for humans, and without this utilization, few of what we consider “meat” animals would be allowed by Homo sapiens to exist except as examples of species in zoos. As the economic stature of a coun­ try or race increases, there is usually a shift in its diet and nutri­ tion to include a greater percentage of tasty, well-balanced protein from animal sources. With this consumption of more well-balanced protein from meat, peoples’ size (particularly height) usually tends to increase.
