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.

Grapes, Green: Green grapes, crisp and fresh, a healthy snack, the very best!

Tune: “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”

🎵 Grapes, grapes, juicy and green,

Sweetest fruit that we’ve ever seen.

Full of vitamins, a great snack,

In a bunch or from a pack!

Rich in antioxidants, for cells’ repair,

And fiber, for digestion’s care.

Grapes, grapes, in our lunch,

Munch, munch, munch, we crunch!

Grapes, grapes, juicy and green,

You’re the best we’ve ever seen!

With potassium, for heart’s rhythm,

Grapes, you’re a healthful emblem.

So here’s to the grape, so juicy and fine,

In health and taste, you truly shine!

Grapes, grapes, juicy and green,

You’re the best we’ve ever seen! 🎵
