Just in case you missed it, here is an interesting article on the BBC site. Here is a link to Tom Standage's website.
The news clip contains two fallacies in particular that stand out from Peter kendal of the NFU - that of HG starvation and the idea that farming lead to 'people growing taller'.
I would argue that most famines require a dependence on settled agriculture. As for the issue of height, the archeological records speak for themselves.
