Obesity - the Next "Drug" for 50 Cent to Fight Against

Besides new songs and top places in musical charts, 50 Cent brings his fans nutritious advice too. Each and every artist should care about his fans, and probably all do. Some of them though get more involved in their fans' own well-being. Fans' health is now 50 Cent's second most important concern. The first would be his own…

The rapper partly owns a company, Glaceau, producing a grape-flavored vitamin drink - Formula 50. Glaceau will sponsor a competition whose aim is to educate young people regarding their eating habits and to prevent childhood obesity. Students from cities like New York, Chicago and Los Angeles are invited to compete to create the most "nutrient-rich" recipe for a school cafeteria lunch. The winner will get a 100,000$ scholarship, besides mates' gratitude for the possibility offered to lose a few pounds.

Soda, hamburgers, French fries, chips and sauces, these are the enemies at which the campaign is aimed at destroying. 50 Cent too has been addicted to these unhealthy habits, but now has his own chef to prepare him nutritious and low caloric meals.

However, when you are a college student, the McDonald's hamburger usually comes out as the easiest solution to calm down your hunger. But since obesity is always there, watching for its next victims, we should all be aware of the physical and aesthetical damages we're exposed at.

So kids, take a run to school, grab some lettuce on your way, pass over the McDonald's on your right and the Burger King on your left, and maybe one day you'll have the chance to be the happy owner of an abs comparable to 50 Cent's.
