Mike Tyson recalls eating unhealthy prison food for three years

Mike Tyson discussed his prison experience on Robert Kennedy's podcast, describing the terrible quality of food during his incarceration. Tyson said the Federal prison system spends only 60 cents per day on inmate meals, resulting in menus dominated by sugar, processed foods, donuts, and chips. He believes this unhealthy diet contributes to increased violence in prisons, making inmates more aggressive. Tyson explained that proper nutrition is crucial, crediting his mentor Cus D'Amato for teaching him about diet. He now focuses carefully on his appearance and eating habits, favoring eggs for breakfast and seafood as the best food for burning fat.
