In Ethiopia, many mothers with young kids don't eat enough different foods. This is a big problem. It's not just about one person. It affects everyone. But, most studies look at kids' food. They don't look at moms. And they use old ways to study the problem. This new study is different. It uses smart computer programs. These programs can guess who might not eat enough different foods. They can also find out why. This helps people who want to fix the problem. But, is this the best way to help? Maybe. But, it's not the only way.
The study looks at moms with kids under two. It uses data from 2016. The computer programs find important things. Like, where moms live. Or, how much education they have. These things can guess if a mom eats enough different foods. But, the study doesn't say how to fix the problem. It just says what the problem is.
The study is a start. But, it's not enough. It's like having a map. But, no car to drive. We need more than just knowing the problem. We need to do something about it. And, we need to do it fast. Because, every day, more moms and kids go hungry. And, that's not okay.
