During a podcast with Robert Kennedy, Mike Tyson discussed the terrible quality of food he ate during his three years in prison. Tyson described the prison diet as consisting almost entirely of sugar and processed foods, including donuts, chips, and oversalted soup, with the federal prison system spending only 60 cents per day per inmate on food. He argued that this unhealthy diet makes prisoners more violent and aggressive, causing people to fight and kill over minor issues. Kennedy supported this claim by citing research showing that improving prison food quality reduces violence by 50% and disciplinary actions by 70% in juvenile facilities. Tyson also shared that proper nutrition training from his mentor Cus D'Amato transformed his life, and he now maintains a disciplined diet focused on eggs for breakfast and seafood as the best fat-burning food.
