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.

Brazil Nut: Giant crunch, health in a munch, a nutty friend for your lunch!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 Brazil Nut, so rich and grand,

From nature’s heart, by its own hand.

Selenium’s boost, so strong and true,

For health and vigor through and through.

🎵 Antioxidants in each small part.

Protecting us, they play their part.

Thyroid health, they do uphold,

In our bodies, brave and bold.

🎵 Omega-3s for hearts so light.

In wellness, they shine so bright.

Fiber aids our digestion’s quest.

For strong bones, they do their best.

🎵 Its creamy taste — a joy to find.

In every nut, health’s intertwined.

Enjoy its flavor, pure and true.

Every bite makes health renew. 🎵
