Fiddy will judge a nation wide cooking competition that is aimed at curbing the unhealthy eating habits of high school students across the country.

Glaceau, a company part owned by 50 Cent that makes the grape flavoured vitamin drink Formula 50. He doesn’t drink alcohol or energy drinks, but does sneak the occasional soda from time to time.
He has also spoken about how he used to just go to fast food restaurants, but now he has a personal chef who can cook him something nutritious. Since we can’t all afford the luxury, we’ll just have to be more proactive in keeping healthy.
