There are several cooking shows I can not watch because of the females cooking with long hair flowing over the food. It is similar to when you watch these shows and they do not clean their knives, cutting boards or wash their hands.

It is horrible. It makes me so grossed out I can't even watch those shows. They very rarely, if ever, give common sense recommendations about food handling/preparation guidelines to insure those cooking don't get food poisoning.

I'm too practical and pragmatic to watch a cooking show that is SO unrealistic that they don't even mention they should be washing their hands, etc.

Believe me, I won't even eat in a restaraunt that doesn't require it's employees to tie their hair back. It used to be that all restaraunt workers were required to wear hair nets and I haven't seen one in years. The standards have lowered and it is just plain gross and unsanitary.

Bleech.
