to see over the dikes, eh Shadowfax?

AMSTERDAM, Netherlands - The Dutch, already the tallest people on the planet, are still growing in height while also packing on the pounds.

The market research organization GfK said on Thursday that data collected over the last seven years showed increasing demand for larger clothing sizes in the Netherlands, where the average man is about 6 feet, 1 inch, tall.

“The Dutch are growing,” said GfK spokesman Koen Snoeren.

The Dutch are nearly four inches taller on average than the British and Americans, and almost six inches taller than they were four decades ago.
