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.

Pear: Pear’s sweet allure, nature’s pure, a taste sensation to endure!

Tune: “The Itsy Bitsy Spider”

🎵 “Pear, oh pear, so crisp and bright,

You’re a healthy, tasty bite.

Full of fiber, oh so good,

You’re a favorite in our hood!

In a salad, or just by itself,

Pear, you’re good for our health!

Rich in Vitamin C, for immunity’s boost,

Pear, you’re the absolute truth.

Pear, oh pear, so crisp and bright,

You’re a healthy, tasty bite.

Packed with antioxidants, a healthy crown,

Pear, you wear the crown!

Juicy, sweet, a tasty treat,

Pear, you make our day complete!

Pear, oh pear, so crisp and bright,

Eating you is pure delight!” 🎵
