No Facts, Total Bullshit. FYI, the colonial diet consisted of extremely low amounts of Protein and mainly what we refer to now as Vegetable side dishes. I cook all the time from 3 Colonial cookbooks. Walter Staib`s City Tavern (he owns and operates City Tavern www.citytavern.com circa 1773 and is the most prominent American food historian. He also does presentations at Monticello in Thomas Jefferson`s kitchen. I also use Thomas Jefferson`s cookbook and it can`t be stressed enough in it, the fact that Protein and meat dishes were to be the accompaniment if even present at all.
Also "colonial houses" are known for their 12 foot plus ceilings, extremely large windows and massive doors. Hope this helps (although I have my doubts that it will)
Dude, WTF did I say, the colonist only got taller due to their increased protien diets, they weren't eating as much as before. As the steady increase in protein in their diets, so did their growth. And in your own backyard, the Cherokee of the Smokey Mountains had stated the studies and also the facts American Indians were taller than the Euro colonists. And so do skeletons corroborate this as well. It wad not unheard of to see a six foot tall Indian, and whic is why G. Washington was considered a giant at 6 + feet, because it was inually for a white man to be that.
Also, I am from Annapolis, I live in Annapolis, Annapolis has more houses from the 17th century than the whole of NC, but the colonist houses, were known for have short entrance doorways, I remember going on various field trips as a child and them explaining the reasons why. People were smaller back then.
Stop acting like you know stuff, and chill.
