Mike Tyson Backs Trump Administration Campaign to Curb Ultra-Processed Foods, Calls It His Biggest Fight

HHS Secretary Kennedy cites a January guideline update that puts real food at the center of federal nutrition advice.

Overview

On Feb. 11, Tyson spoke in Washington at a Make America Healthy Again event hosted at the Department of Health and Human Services.
He framed moving Americans away from snacks and frozen pizza as the biggest fight of his life and said he hopes to be a hero for healthy eating.
The outreach campaign promotes a “real food” message, and a new ad featuring Tyson aired during the Feb. 8 Super Bowl.
Tyson referenced growing up in poor New York neighborhoods where diets heavy in ultra-processed foods were commonplace.
HHS Secretary Kennedy highlighted the January revision of U.S. dietary guidelines, saying the government has centered Americans’ diets on real food for the first time.
