LOL!!! I don't think emaciated is quite the right word. Still, it got a laugh out of me. But I have to admit, as an/a United States resident since birth

I also have been inundated with the "greek physic," and I'm gaga for them.
However, I've always wondered about this idea, and if it has anything to do with history, even the way "Americans" dress is a bit different from Europeans, when people from Asia and Europe pay a visit, I'm often told that Americans have such casual wardrobes.
People are right though, people all over the world look different, I've never visited Russia, but I don't think all Russian boys look like twinks and the countries I've visited, like England and Germany, have quite a few husky men. Personally, I do like my Men At Play. However, recently I paid a visit to China, the last generation is truly short, at 5"8' I towered over some older people, but the youngest generation that didn't suffer through famines and food rationing (that's what I'm told by the grandmas themselves, so don't hate me) are pretty tall, though I visited only the cities.
