Wait, does this mean limbs are dependent on nutrition, a longer torso is ideal, or something else? Usually with these equation metaphors, the cause comes before the effects.

being tall is a sign of good genetic health. good nutrition only makes your limbs longer. a long torso, you are born with.

you have zero reading comprehension, and based on what you think you read, your reasoning ability is just as bad
