Mike Tyson reflects on poor prison diet, links processed food to violence

Mike Tyson appeared on Robert Kennedy's podcast and discussed the inadequate food he received during his three years in prison. Tyson said inmates were fed mostly sugar and processed items like donuts and chips for roughly 60 cents per day, with no access to healthy options. He argued that this diet increased aggression and violence among prisoners. Tyson also revealed that his sister died from obesity-related issues tied to poor nutrition in their low-income neighborhood. He credited his mentor Cus D'Amato with teaching him proper diet and discipline. Now, Tyson emphasizes eating eggs for breakfast and seafood to maintain his physique, stating that good seafood can burn fat without the need for training.
