No suprise.

I've been thinking similar thoughts as these, as to why kids are becoming so much more mature at a younger age and such. Whether it is the hormones that are added to the livestock and poultry or something else, I've noticed a huge change in the size of heighth and develovement in young adults (ages 11-18).
It's really hard to narrow it down though since the general public "can't be bothered" with such concerns.
Just my opinion.

Biomagnifcation....

I tried to pay attention in my geology and biology classes....

Biomagnification is the bioaccumulation of a substance up the food chain by transfer of residues of the substance in smaller organisms that are food for larger organisms in the chain. It generally refers to the sequence of processes that results in higher concentrations in organisms at higher levels in the food chain (at higher trophic levels). These processes result in an organism having higher concentrations of a substance than is present in the organism’s food. Biomagnification can result in higher concentrations of the substance than would be expected if water were the only exposure mechanism. Accumulation of a substance only through contact with water is known as bioconcentration.

I do believe that this is one of the reasons that we continue to evolve as bigger, faster and stronger.

That's odd as I find kids to be smaller than what we were. We as in when I was coming up. Maybe more of a taller average height. But the athletes in schools seem smaller to me.

The potential might be there but today's children move,play sports and exercise less and less leading to more obese adults with heart problems.In fact the new generation of children is going to be probably the very first ever that will live less than the generation of their parents due to that.
That being said, i think evolution goes towards us bigger people being extinct in favour to smaller people that consume less food and have less body strength.Technology more and more solves problems needing muscle strength .
If you want to see how we'll look like in 5000 years ,look at Chinese people.
Now,all that igf could contribute to here would be more cancers.
At least that's how i see it.
