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.

Cashew: Bendy snack, flavor pack, makes your taste buds jump and clap!

Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

🎵 Cashew, a nut so fine and grand,

Rich in nutrients from fertile land.

In snacks or meals, it takes the stage.

For health benefits, it’s all the rage.

🎵 Full of vitamins and fats that heal,

Cashew’s power you can’t conceal.

For eyes so sharp and weight that’s right,

It’s a healthful choice both day and night.

🎵 Iron-rich to keep fatigue away.

It boosts brain health in every way .

Copper for zest in every bite,

Makes skin and hair shine so bright.

🎵 Embrace this nut, a treasure true,

As it adds strength to all you do.

A nutty joy in every dish,

Cashew’s charm is simply delish. 🎵
