Rapper 50 Cent may not be a poster child for wholesome lyrics, but he has become an advocate for healthy eating. 50 Cent is “spokes-rapper” and judge for a national competition among U.S. high-school students to produce the most "nutrient-rich" cafeteria lunch, in an attempt to wean kids off junk food and help combat child obesity. Sponsored by Glaceau, which makes the rapper’s Formula 50 vitamin water, the winner of the competition will receive a $100,000 college scholarship.
This is one message you do want your kids to hear.
