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

Srinivasa K. Rao, Ph.D.

Recognizing that children’s limited diet impacts 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.

Ghee: Smooth and bright, a buttery delight, adding warmth to every bite!

Tune: “Mary Had a Little Lamb”

🎵 Ghee is golden, smooth, and bright,

So creamy, warm, and light.

It fills our meals with tasty joy,

And keeps us feeling right.🎵

🎵 With vitamins like A and E,

It’s good for you and me!

Healthy fats to help us grow,

And energy, you see. 🎵

🎵 Ghee helps keep our tummies well,

In ways we cannot tell.

Lactose-free, so pure and clear,

A taste that’s loved so dear. 🎵

🎵 In cooking or a little spread,

On rice or soft warm bread,

Ghee’s a treat, so rich and fine,

A food that’s always kind! 🎵
