Well, my son is 6'6" tall and weighs between 220 and 230 lbs.  He eats mostly paleo, excercises via a variety of seasonal sports as well as cross training w/ his personal trainer; he has a lot of muscle.  His height runs in our Dutch Frisian family; I have male relatives 7' tall and women over 6'.  If you are 7' tall, 180 lbs. would be awfully lean.

Are you saying that tall people are a result of eating processed sugars?   We've always eaten a lot of cold water fish, high in omega 3's.  

A football coach once told me that muscle weighs more than fat.  Is their any evidence for this??
