NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, MAHA Center Inc. announced it will release a Super Bowl advertisement featuring Mike Tyson, simultaneously launching a national campaign for Americans to Eat Real Food.
In the ad, Mike describes his sister’s death from obesity and his own battle with addiction to ultraprocessed food. He highlights how America is the most powerful country in the world, but also the sickest and most obese: over 40% of teens are overweight, 38% are pre-diabetic, and nearly 79% of a child’s diet is ultraprocessed food in the United States, compared to below 20% in peer countries.
The ad was directed by Brett Ratner, director of the recent documentary Melania and the Rush Hour movie franchise.
The ad directs viewers to RealFood.gov, a new public health website outlining historic government recommendations to follow a nutrient-dense, whole food diet.

While the MAHA Center is an independent nonprofit, the Tyson ad launches a national campaign in support of the Trump administration’s efforts to evangelize whole food, reform SNAP to prioritize real food instead of soda and candy, and ensure our military and school lunch procurement features nutrient-dense food instead of poison.
Americans across the political spectrum are waking up to the fact that the Standard American Diet is destroying our health and draining our healthcare budget. During prior administrations, the government called ultraprocessed food and added sugar healthy parts of a child’s diet. They are not.
As Americans watch an army of celebrities sell out by pitching objectively harmful food during the Super Bowl, Mike Tyson will share his empowering story of reversing his depression and chronic disease through real food.
MAHA Center Inc. financed the ad.
