Even if incorrect, I think Daithi should be given at least an 'honorary win' for this answer.

Most Dutch people I have met have actually been tall

Well taller than me anyway.

What country has the tallest citizens?

And possible reasons why that is so.

Is it America? And better nutrition for a few generations.

Yes, it is the Dutch.

Can anyone suggest a reason why that is besides engulfment?

Lots of cheese to build strong bones.
OR
Stretching their legs by riding bicycles a lot because it's so flat.

You're correct with the cheese.

There are three theories:

High protein diets. Lots of cows.
Drink large quantities of milk. The Dutch and the Scandinavians are generally not lactose intolerant. Higher prevalence of lactose intolerance in Mediterranean areas.
Excellent health care system.

Here is a question based on size and athleticism. What metropolitan area of the United States is producing more NFL football players per capita than any other?

Hint: With only a population of 65,000 people and six high-schools, they sent ten players to the NFL in just five years.

Guessing wildly. Greenville, NC

Daithi · 06-24-2012, 03:24 PM

Not a bad guess, but not even close.

One more hint, currently there are more than 30 guys form this place (or their parents were from this place) and are now in the NFL and another 200-plus are playing Division 1 college football.

Hmmmmm ...... Denver?

Fbone · 06-24-2012, 05:16 PM

My first guess would have been Long Beach, CA but it has way more than 65,000 ppl.

Another wild guess. Mission Viejo, CA.

Here is another hint. The first letter in the name of this place is an A, and the last letter in the name of this place is also an A.

Although, some people think the first letter is an S, but they're wrong.
