50 Cent nets $400m from Coca-Cola deal

KNN News

Rapper 50 Cent is going straight to the bank - he's reportedly received a massive $400m (€296m) paycheque after The Coca-Cola Company bought the firm behind his energy drink Formula 50 last week.

Drinks makers Glaceau, which produces the Vitamin Water range inspired by the Candy Shop star, was acquired by The Coca-Cola Company for $4.1bn (€3bn) last Friday.

And as 50 Cent - real name Curtis Jackson - owns a 10% share of Glaceau, he also made a huge profit from the takeover, according to AllHipHop.com. See: 50 Cent nets $400m from Coca-Cola deal

Facts about Organic foods

Find out what factors might influence your decision to buy organic foods
From MayoClinic.com

The word "organic" refers to the way farmers grow and process agricultural products, such as fruits, vegetables, grains, dairy products and meat. Organic farming practices are designed to encourage soil and water conservation and reduce pollution. Farmers who grow organic produce and meat don't use conventional methods to fertilize, control weeds or prevent livestock disease. For example, rather than using chemical weedkillers, organic farmers conduct sophisticated crop rotations and spread mulch or manure to keep weeds at bay.

Here are other differences between conventional farming and organic farming:

Conventional farmers
Apply chemical fertilizers to promote plant growth.
Spray insecticides to reduce pests and disease.
Use chemical herbicides to manage weeds.

Organic farmers
Apply natural fertilizers, such as manure or compost, to feed soil and plants.
Use beneficial insects and birds, mating disruption or traps to reduce pests and disease.
Rotate crops, till, hand weed or mulch to manage weeds.

Organic or not? Check the label
The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has established an organic certification program that requires all organic foods to meet strict government standards. These standards regulate how such foods are grown, handled and processed. Any farmer or food manufacturer who labels and sells a product as organic must be USDA certified as meeting these standards. Only producers who sell less than $5,000 a year in organic foods are exempt from this certification.
