I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics), where a food cannot be delicious, cheap and healthy at the same time. At maximum 2 of the 3 can be achieved.

Is there any food that breaks this theory?

Edit: I was thinking more about dishes (or something you put in your mouth) than the raw substances

Some popular suggestions include

  • fruits (in season) and vegetables
  • lentils, beans, rice
  • mushrooms
  • chicken
  • just eat in moderation

Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!

Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!

    I think its like your trinity because if its healthy and delicious people want them. => Prices go up => It CANT be cheap.

      That’s also where i was coming from.

      But then as people suggested, delicious is kind of subjective. Who is to say that a Michelin 3-star cloud dessert is more delicious than a piece of cold watermelon in summer?
