Harmonizing health & biodiversity, our melodic food for health rhymes initiative can ignite kid’s love for diverse foods in a fun and engaging way

Srinivasa K. Rao, Ph.D.

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts both their health and the planet’s biodiversity, we propose to foster a love for diverse foods through the universal language of music. We created nursery rhymes each featuring a different food item, set to familiar tunes. We hope these rhymes will not only educate children about the nutritional benefits of various foods but also stimulate demand for diverse crops, ultimately contributing to biodiversity.

This initiative promises a fun, engaging way to cultivate healthier habits in children while safeguarding our planet.

Almond: Almond: Nature’s crunch, packed with health, in every munch!

Tune: “London Bridge Is Falling Down”

🎵 Almond, a nut so fine and grand,

Healthy fats in your hand,

Roasted, raw, a tasty snack,

Crunch and flavor, never lack.

🎵 Vitamins, magnesium too,

Almond benefits, for me and you.

Strengthens bones, boosts the brain,

Cholesterol falls, health to gain.

🎵 Antioxidants fight the stress,

Heart health, almonds bless.

Fiber aids your digestion track,

Energy boost, you won’t lack.

🎵 Vitamin E, skin so clear,

Almonds, a cheer, year to year.

Goodness embraced, nutty and bright,

Tasty delight, day and night.
