Non-sequitur.  A piece of dead cow has a metabolic rate of zero, and
it will be inedible after being frozen for a decade or less.  Frogs
frozen near 0 degrees C for a mere one hundred years would die from
rotting, not from hunger, so the metabolic rate doesn't let you
conclude anything about whether they would survive.
