Stunting is a clear sign of nutrient deficiency in childhood.
So every child in the area is STILL nutrient deficient? And why didn't their neighbors get shorter when they moved to agriculture?
Like the rest of the points, it has the semblance of logic but kind of falls apart with some critical thought
You asked about health and height. They are related. It's good to be skeptical about observational studies.
I'm not disputing that height can be an indication of nutritional deficiency but nutrition isn't measured in height. The author cherry picks it as evidence despite the same thing not happening elsewhere before immediately moving on.
It reminds me a lot of the way flat earthers write, albeit not insane. They chain together several flimsy claims together so you think "hmm that makes sense" but don't have time to poke holes in it before the next theory
