Bittman: we're not all perfect.

I am a fan of Mark Bittman and I value his opinions.  Today, he blogged about TV food shows.  I share mixed and biased feelings on the subject.  He comments how shows are not real and that they should admit to mistakes being made in the kitchen - I think this is a bit of a stretch.  

Yes, of course, mistakes are made, but, shouldn't this go without saying?  I would hope that American viewers are not naive enough to think that the Food Network Studios lives in a perfect world.
