"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." What ever floats your boat I guess...

That paragraph is such gobbledygook, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was immediately used in some anti-green-energy content. Which is completely unnecessary.

They're really going out of the way to ignore the obese elephant in the room.

So apparently eugenics is just fine if it is for the environment?

On a more realistic/localized level: my partner and I need fewer groceries and often split an entree at a restaurant because we’re not tall. It may not save the planet but saves us money.

  That was good one, as someone almost 200cm tall with BMI 20.0 (I gained weight now after holidays, was under 20) I am astonished to see amounts of food everyone (which means almost everyone shorter than me) around me eats. Heck my 129cm developing kid eats more than his 158cm mother, so much for savings. I'd recommend everyone wanting to lose weight to stay for at least few months in Southeast Asia, they are onto something with food portions. You realize how much food your body really needs instead of gigantic double western portions, which are designed to make pretty much everyone obese.

I think if they wanna save the planet there is even more efficient solution what to do about their kids (and own lives as well): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn3oXHSUdKY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mn3oXHSUdKY

Yeah and I'm pretty sure that those people who can't get a short enough mating partner will just abstain from doing so... So much stupidity in this piece that it's hard to address all of them.
