Mike Tyson describes poor prison food quality during three-year incarceration

Mike Tyson discussed the terrible quality of food he experienced during his three years in prison on Robert Kennedy's podcast. Tyson explained that the prison system spent only 60 cents per day on inmate food, resulting in meals consisting mostly of sugar, processed foods, donuts, chips, and oversalted soup with no healthy options. He believes this poor nutrition contributed to increased violence among inmates, stating that people would attack each other over minor provocations. Tyson contrasted this with his current lifestyle, where he focuses heavily on proper nutrition, eating mainly eggs for breakfast and seafood to burn fat, crediting his mentor Cus D'Amato for teaching him about proper diet and regimen.
