Being richer means eating better, which means growing taller. Maybe it isn’t height that gets you income, but the opposite.

That’s certainly one strong explanation (makes sense to me), but we can’t conclusively say if one causes the other. All we know is that there’s a correlation between height and income. All other conclusions made require additional assumptions.
