Americans no longer tallest in the world

http://www.abcnews.go.com/GMA/story?id=3293191
This has been on the news a bit for the last few days, basically Americans are getting fatter and shorter than the rest of the world at a very rapid rate.
Denmark is now currently the tallest country in the world with an average of 6'1".
It was interesting to read on another site how height can change in single generation basically because of bad diet and health issues American's now 'find themselves in'.
Cheers,

P.S. For the aussies reading this no they didn't mention Australia - though all those 2nd generation greek and italian girls are bringing down our average I'm sure :) so leave them alone haha
