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.

Monk Fruit: Sweet and pure, a natural cure, bringing flavor that will endure!

Tune: “Baa Baa Black Sheep”

🎵 Monk fruit, monk fruit, small and sweet,
Nature’s sugar, fun to eat.
Low in sugar, zero fat,
Yummy fruit, we all love that! 🎵

🎵 Keeps us healthy, keeps us strong,
Gives us energy all day long.
Good for treats, in drinks so cool,
Monk fruit is our healthy tool.🎵

🎵 Add to cookies, add to tea,
Monk fruit makes it sugar-free.
Safe for kids, and tasty too,
Monk fruit is so good for you.🎵

🎵 Monk fruit, monk fruit, small and sweet,
A yummy snack that can’t be beat.
Good for health and full of cheer,
Monk fruit, we love you here! 🎵
