Rapper 50 Cent is entering the battle against obesity. He is one of the judges in a nationwide cooking
competition that is aimed at promoting good health among school-age children. The Free Lunch Money Contest, which is sponsored by Glaceau, asks student chefs to come up with the most nutritious cafeteria lunch
recipe. The grand prize is a $100,000 college scholarship.
50 Cent is part owner of Glaceau, which also sells his grape-flavored vitamin water, Formula 50. He told USA Today that while he maintains a healthy lifestyle now, at 29, he didn't always do so and thinks that it is tough for kids to stick to a healthy diet. Today, the rapper works out regularly and has his meals prepared by a personal chef, instead of indulging in fast food. He also doesn't drink alcohol, but admits to sneaking the occasional soda in a diet where he largely avoids sugar.
