Despite 80 per cent of diets failing, we keep buying low-calorie food. Last year we ate our way through over 1 billion pounds' worth of weight-reducing products. We already have sugar-free sweetener: will the foods of the 90s be fat-free chips and starch-free flour and will these products really solve Western obesity or simply encourage more and more eating?

The Lady Vanquishes There was once a time when all the big-shot Hollywood directors were men, and the women had their place - in the camera's lens.
Now opportunities for directors in Hollywood are becoming more equal, and women are getting the big feature films: horror pictures like Mary Lambert 's Pet Sematary, full-scale dramas, such as Susan Seidelmann 's Desperately Seeking
Susan, and hard-hitting thrillers like
Maggie Greenwald 's TheKill-Off. Nigel Andrews reports on Hollywood's new talents.
