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.

Orange: Orange, citrus delight, a burst of sunshine, pure and bright!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”

🎵 “Orange, orange, bright and round,

Your sweet juice is so renowned.

Packed with Vitamin C,

You’re as healthy as can be!

Peel and eat, or squeeze for juice,

With oranges, we let loose!

Rich in fiber, for digestion’s ease,

Oranges, you always please.

Orange, orange, bright and round,

Your sweet juice is so renowned.

Packed with antioxidants, a healthy crown,

Oranges, you wear the crown!

In a salad, or a snack,

Oranges, you’ve got the knack!

Orange, orange, bright and round,

Eating you is such a sound!” 🎵
