Why is Minnesota so far away?

"The milk at the Minnesota State Fair is ice cold with a thick mustache-forming layer of foam on top, and you can drink as much of it as you'd like for a dollar."

There's a moral to the Slate story later, but it starts with food. Which may mean I didn't take the moral to heart, but all that milk could sure follow some deep-fried Oreos.

Thoughts?
