∙ 13y agoBy the things they eat! But of course genetics play a role in this! Anyway, lots and lots of chickens are fed growth hormones! You can get a chicken twice as big as a normal one. Why would you get a chicken in three months half the size of what you could get in 30 days? That is the point of growth hormones. The hormones are in the muscles and fat in the chicken even after it dies. Thus promoting to a person's growth. This goes the same with other animals. Such as pigs and cows and milk that cows produce. Even though this vaguely answers your environmental question, of course it's not environmental because it is not a natural thing. But a person's height could also be affected by the air? I don't know anything else but what I said. :] Good question.
