The Dutch also have some of the highest home birth rates in Europe.
FYI my DH served an LDS Mission in Holland in the late 70's. He is fluent in dutch and loves the culture and the people. We would love to go back at some point and see some of the friends that he made while in Holland for his two year mormon mission.

(AP) Most of us are taller than our parents, who probably are taller than their parents. But in the Netherlands, the generational progression has reached new heights.
In the last 150 years, the Dutch have become the tallest people on Earth _ and experts say they're still getting bigger. It is a tale of a nation's health and wealth.
Prosperity propelled the collective growth spurt that began in the mid-1800s and was only interrupted during the harsh years of the Nazi occupation in the 1940s _ when average heights actually declined.
With their protein-rich diet and a national health service that pampers infants, the Dutch are standing taller than ever. The average Dutchman stands just over 6 feet, while women average nearly 5-foot-7.
