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, beans
  • rice
  • mushrooms

    Yeah that’s pretty Italian answer because no one else would consider pizza dough to be remotely healthy :D

      Really? This type doesn’t have any cheese or topping in general on top. It’s just a carbs meal with very low fat (basically just the oil), essentially, I don’t think it’s inherently unhealthy, and my internet search is all over the place with the results.

      But I am fully aware my knowledge about the topic is extremely limited.

        Flour used to make pizza dough is very low in fiber as well as results with high spikes in blood sugar as carbs it contains are absorbed in a very short time. Pasta (when prepared properly) is way better in that regard but it’s still far from perfect.
