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 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.

Pecan: Buttery swirls, flavor unfurls, a nutty crunch that twirls!

Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star”

🎵 Pecans — a sweet nut and taste delight.

Goodness and joy in every bite.

Roasted or in pies — such a treat.

For good health, it can’t be beat.🎵

🎵 Great taste and antioxidants meet.

In diets, pecans are a vital feat.

Good for your heart — that’s the start.

For keeping you well — a crucial part. 🎵

🎵 Pecans are purely beneficial.

Nutritious with nothing artificial.

For your heart, they play a role.

Keeping you strong — that’s the goal. 🎵

🎵 Tasty pecans — a sunny treat,

As a snack, they can’t be beat.

Maximize health — no need to doubt.

With pecans, take a healthy route. 🎵
