Mike Tyson discusses poor prison food quality on Robert Kennedy podcast

Mike Tyson appeared on Robert Kennedy's podcast and discussed the terrible food he experienced during his three years in prison. Tyson described being served primarily sugar and processed foods, with the healthiest option being "dirty, oversalted soup." He argued that the poor diet contributes to violence in prisons, stating that prisoners attack each other over minor issues because the ultra-processed food makes them angrier. Kennedy noted that research shows improving prison food quality reduces violence by 50% and disciplinary incidents by 70% in juvenile facilities. Tyson contrasted his prison experience with his current focus on proper nutrition, crediting his mentor Cus D'Amato for teaching him healthy eating habits and explaining that his breakfast typically consists of eggs and his preferred fat-burning food is seafood.
