Gaslighting
The myth of drinking milk

Can anyone come up with any of the other myths that exist as a "means of getting taller". And by myth, I don't mean snake oil. I mean conventional supposed healthy eating habits during childhood that are supposed to make you grow taller. I have friends who drank nothing but soda, sugary drinks and ate junk who all ended up well above 6 feet.

As a kid, I drank milk constantly (parents made sure I did), ate lots of meats, drank glasses of water a day, played sports and got lots of sleep. When I chatted with friends in the past, they swore up and down and that I just didn't eat healthy enough as a child. To make matters worse, I remember an event where a friend of the family told her son to drink milk so he didn't end up like me. It made him change his picky eating habits immediately. It didn't occur to them that they're instilling the idea that shortness is a negative virtue.

Anyway, what are some of the myths that we're told to do in order to get taller?

I can co-sign on this. Some of the basketball players in my high school, I was in school with since Elementary. While I was eating a lot of traditional Puerto Rican meals with meats, drank lots of milk and ate plenty of veggies, some of my friends were eating stuff like chips and popcorn constantly. Add I came from a lower class area where a lot of my friends grew up in poverty.

A lot of those kids grew to be very tall, while I, well you know lol. I'm the height that I am today.

Here's the thing, all of those "myths" have some truth. Good nutrition is a conduit to growth, however, that nutrition would only help you to grow as tall as you were supposed to be with good nutrition.

What gets warped is when this is "weaponized" to insult shorter guys and shorter people overall.
