A survey examined dietary practices of 400 Egyptian mothers, revealing that illiteracy, deliveries, and child mortality per family were higher in rural than in urban areas. The diets of urban and rural mothers were found to be similar, principally being brown wheat bread, broad beans, and strong sweet tea. A total of 90% of the children were breast-fed, and about 80% received supplementary food. Other results suggested strategies for resolving local nutritional problems.
