Did I say every day? Did you say every day was sub zero in the Midwest? It's "very manageable" as in, safe to sprint and exercise rigorously for people who are

  > Did I say every day? Did you say every day was sub zero in the Midwest? No, and no. Because both would be gross exaggerations. My point is that both Minnesota and Mississippi, for example, have many days a year that are good for outdoor activites and many days a year that are not good for outdoor activities. The climate of Minnesota is no less hostile than the climate of Mississippi. Thus, differences in climate do not explain why Minnesota is one of the fittest states and Mississippi one of the fattest. Needless to say, these are only relative differences. There are many fit people in both states, and many fat people in both states. When commenters say crap like, "Nobody goes outside", it's an absurd hyperbole, and it undermines the argument.
