Americans Grow To Fit Their Environment
What started as a humorous observation got me thinking about the veracity of the statement. I thought "people are getting bigger" and "houses are getting bigger", how do they relate? In this environment of Googleified immediate access to random data, I had the opportunity to go figure that out, in my own non-scientific way. Very quickly I was able to locate the data that I required to figure out whether Americans did have the tendency to grow to fit their environment. I am not picking specifically on Americans, its just that housing is typically constrained in many other places around the world. If one were motivated, they could put a finer point on this amusement by looking at regional trends in both datasets.
I'll leave the conclusions up to you. Keep in mind that this is pure amusement and not terribly scientific any any way.

The pineapple (Ananas Comosus) is a tropical plant with an edible fruit; it is the most economically significant plant in the family Bromeliaceae.
ETYMOLOGY: The first reference in English to the pineapple fruit was the 1568 translation from the French of André Thevet's The New Found World, or Antarctike where he refers to a Hoyriri, a fruit cultivated and eaten by the Tupinambá people, living near modern Rio de Janeiro, and now believed to be a pineapple.
Later in the same English translation, he describes the same fruit as a "Nana made in the manner of a Pine apple", where he used another Tupi word nanas, meaning 'excellent fruit'.
OLD WORLD INTRODUCTION: While the pineapple fascinated Europeans as a fruit of colonialism, it was not successfully cultivated in Europe until Pieter de la Court (1664–1739) developed greenhouse horticulture near Leiden.
Pineapple plants were distributed from the Netherlands to English gardeners in 1719 and French ones in 1730.
MEDICINAL: Among the medicinal properties of the fruit, the most notable is that of bromelain, which helps metabolize food.
It is also a diuretic, slightly antiseptic, detoxifying, antacid and vermifuge.
Its use has been studied as an aid in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, sciatica, and obesity control.
PRODUCTION: Today, pineapple is the second largest tropical fruit crop in terms of volume, surpassed only by banana (Musa paradisiaca).
The main producers are Costa Rica, Brazil, the Philippines, Indonesia and India, which account for 50% of production. Other important producers are Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Thailand and China. The most important cultivar is the so-called 'smooth Cayenne', originally from French Guiana. (Source: Wikipedia)
ANANAS COMOSUS (PIÑA), 2025
La piña (Ananas comosus) es una planta tropical con un fruto comestible; es la planta económicamente más importante de la familia Bromeliaceae.
ETIMOLOGÍA: La primera referencia en inglés a la piña fue la traducción de 1568 del francés de The New Found World, or Antarctike de André Thevet, donde se refiere a un Hoyriri, una fruta cultivada y consumida por el pueblo tupinambá, que vivía cerca de la actual Río de Janeiro, y que ahora se cree que es una piña.
Más adelante, en la misma traducción al inglés, describe la misma fruta como una "Nana hecha a la manera de una piña", donde utilizó otra palabra tupí, nanas, que significa 'fruta excelente'.
INTRODUCCIÓN AL VIEJO MUNDO: Si bien la piña fascinó a los europeos como fruto del colonialismo, no se cultivó con éxito en Europa hasta que Pieter de la Court (1664-1739) desarrolló la horticultura de invernadero cerca de Leiden.
Las plantas de piña fueron distribuidas desde los Países Bajos a los jardineros ingleses en 1719 y a los franceses en 1730.
MEDICINAL: Entre las propiedades medicinales del fruto, la más notable es la de la bromelina, que ayuda a metabolizar los alimentos.
Es también diurético, ligeramente antiséptico, desintoxicante, antiácido y vermífugo.
Se ha estudiado su uso como auxiliar en el tratamiento de la artritis reumatoide, la ciática, y el control de la obesidad.
PRODUCCION: Hoy la piña es el segundo cultivo frutal tropical en volumen, sólo superado por el plátano (Musa paradisiaca).
Los principales productores son Costa Rica, Brasil, Filipinas, Indonesia, India, que concentran el 50 % de la producción. Otros productores de relieve son Kenia, México, Nigeria, Tailandia y China. El cultivar más importante es el llamado 'smooth Cayenne', originario de la Guayana Francesa. (Fuente: Wikipedia)
