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)
  • lentils

    IMHO, steamed vegetables are right in the middle of the triangle. I’ve bought a steam cooker and it’s a game changer compared to boiling. It’s healthier since less nutrients are lost, preserves so much more taste and texture, there’s a timer so you can start the steamer and go do something else. Also makes you use less water. I’ve still got to try steamed fish but I expect it’ll taste great.

      on a perhaps relevant note air-fried stuff may also fit the category. like air fried sweet potato chips, delicious even without seasonings!
