HIS TWO CENTS ON OBESITY
50 Cent has sold millions of records serving kids from the hood to the 'burbs a steady diet of gangsta rap.
Now, he's part of a new campaign to make his young fans healthier.
50 is a spokes-rapper and judge for a nationwide cooking competition aimed at preventing childhood obesity by improving high school students' eating habits. It is sponsored by Glaceau, the company partly owned by the rapper and that sells his grape-flavored Vitamin Water drink, Formula 50.
Student chefs in cities including New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Seattle will compete to create the most ''nutrient-rich'' cafeteria lunch recipe, Glaceau has announced. The winner will receive a $100,000 college scholarship.
''I had all of the unhealthy habits,'' the 29-year-old rapper said. ''Soda … a lot of fast food, all those things.''
Today, he exercises regularly and — thanks to a personal chef — eats nutritious meals.
