Mate With Short People to Save the Planet!!!!! By James Reed

The New York Times has featured another weird piece dealing with climate change, this time taking the spin that people should breed with shorter people to save the planet, as shorter people use less resources, and are more conservation minded! I could not find any empirical evidence for these sorts of claims, and a moments reflection would reveal them as nonsense. Who has not seen short fat people; they are everywhere? Also, everywhere are tall thin people. But really, I was disappointed, as I was expecting the anti-natalist line of not having children at all, but that has been said many times, and probably would not be read. Oh, close down all mainstream hardcopy print media, like the New York Times to save on resources as well!

“A New York Times op-ed suggests that everyone should “mate with shorter people” in order to save the planet.

Yes, really.

Author Mara Altman, claims that “When you mate with shorter people, you’re potentially saving the planet by shrinking the needs of subsequent generations.”

“Lowering the height minimum for prospective partners on your dating profile is a step toward a greener planet,” she adds in the piece.

"He’s even restricted dairy from his sons’ diets and only allows them minimal sugar in an attempt to limit their growth, saving them from the ills of height."

Anyone else think things are getting pretty weird around here?https://t.co/mb45hs58E0

Altman argues that shorter people are “inherent conservationists, which is more crucial than ever in this world of eight billion,” adding that “if we kept our proportions the same but were just 10 percent shorter in America alone, we would save 87 million tons of food per year (not to mention trillions of gallons of water, quadrillions of B.T.U.s of energy and millions of tons of trash).”

Altman continues, “Short people don’t just save resources, but as resources become scarcer because of the earth’s growing population and global warming, they may also be best suited for long-term survival (and not just because more of us will be able to jam into spaceships when we are forced off this planet we wrecked).”

“Our success as individuals does not depend on beating up other people or animals. Even if it did, in an era of guns and drones, being tall now just makes you a bigger target,” Altman adds, concluding “I want my children’s children to know the value of short.””
