The jacket of Like Mother, Like Daughter by Debra Waterhouse (Pandora,
£12.99, ISBN 0 04 440966 4) depicts an iced cake with a cherry on top. A
subsidiary title announces “How to Break Free from the Female Food Trap”. Not
another book on slimming diets, but a plan for liberation from dieting with a
family twist. Waterhouse maintains that mothers who diet to get that fashionable
skeletal figure are conning their daughters into doing the same. Their daughters
will con theirs in turn. Healthy eating is a question of following body
signals.
