In the 1760's it was noted that colonists in America were, on average, 2" taller and 20 pounds heavier than thier relatives in England. Why? The buffets!
(Actually, it's probably due to the protein-rich diet in the Americas. Most of Europe was looking for an extra helping of gruel while the colonists ate venison and other game.)
