Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Nope.. thats why I said shoveled 
they pushed everything aside with their nose, like a 3 year old does with his brussel sprouts (not that a 3 year old use thier face, but then again some do)
But the whole thing about pork being unhealthy I think is BS. Its an old story that some people have carried through and still believe. Could be because of some religous implications and its these people who try justify why its unhealthy and then research these causes.
Yes pork can be dangerious.. if your living in the stone ages and eat dirty meat, but so can seafood, beef and anything else really.
Some facts:
Leaner than ever –Recent USDA research reveals that six of the most common cuts of pork are 16% leaner and contain 27% less saturated fat than they did 17 years ago.
Protein power – Women who cut calories but included more protein, including six ounces of lean pork per day, kept more muscle mass while losing weight than women who consumed the same amount of calories but less protein.
Consuming a higher-protein diet also helped retain a sense of satiety or fullness after meals.
Nutrient rich – One serving of pork tenderloin is loaded with vitamins and minerals. It’s an excellent source of many B-vitamins and a good source of other nutrients including phosphorus, zinc and potassium. It’s also naturally low in sodium – only 2% of the Daily Value per serving
As to the worms in pork, I believe its usually due to a parasite called Trichinella (which cooking the food well will destroy.. just as in other foods) The US Center for Disease Control reported that between 1997 and 2001 there was an average of only 12 cases of trichinosis per year reported, BUT i'm sure you will find tape worm infestation from other meats was higher

Same here. This story of the tapeworm smacks of bullschit.
EDIT: Actually just came from Spur now, had a breakfast special. Was awesome.

They didn't offer you a free tape worm? Dude go back and complain to the manager.
They don't come with breakfast. And it was the special, so not included.

That dude that complained actually had it all wrong. The tape worm was actually for measuring yourself before and after your meal. Gee some ppl!

Be careful of tapeworms, you never know what those things will command you to do.

Well I can believe it as I had worked at that Spur a few years ago. They have a disregard to health standards.
Example: Every night we had to empty the table sauces out into bog buckets and wash the bottles and then refill them. Now the said bucket was placed next to a wash basin used by the kitchen staff and waiters. If you wash your hands then some water would end up in the bucket. Hey its a big bucket so even a liter of liquid would not do much.
Now some guys did not even check the sauces and would also just empty out "off" bottles into this bucket. Gross. Also dirty plates would also be stacked on this sink and sometimes food would fall into this bucket.
The kitchen in general was below standard (I had worked in a kitchen before) and there was no hygiene enforcements in place.
When I was there, on a weekly basis people would come in with Doctors bills and repeatedly the management would deny any contaminated food and always claimed that this had never happened before.
