Wojnarowski: Hayward's food poisoning from pork tacos, quesadilla, or churro at SLC restaurant

An anecdotal story totally unrelated to basketball that someone might find interesting.

Many years ago, I talked to a coworker (he has a masters in microbiology) about food poisoning. I told him my childhood experience in raising pigs on a small family farm, where our family would empty food scraps into a 5-gallon "slop" bucket on the back porch. Every 4 or 5 days, we would haul that slop out to the pig pen and feed it to the pigs. They loved that ****.

Now as an eight-year-old kid, you don't know enough to wonder about these things, you just do what your parents tell you to do and hauling that slop bucket was one of more disgusting things I had to do as a kid. I completely forgot about that old slop bucket until 40 years later when the subject of food poisoning came up at work. So my question to my coworker was, "How can pigs relish eating **** that a single swallow of which would send us to the morgue?"

His answer: enzymes. Pigs produce enzymes that breakdown toxins that our bodies can't handle. I should have known that, but sometimes it's difficult to connect what you learn in a classroom to the real world.

If this story is true about where GH ate before them game, then this one is on him. Why the **** is he eating out before a game...especially at a place where he's gotten sick before.
