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

    I guess it depends on where you live and your shop’s supplier. In Germany, they’re often processed like sausage, produced in factories and delivered frozen to the shops. I’m not totally against processed meat or factory made food, but they don’t fit in my nutritional goals. I also generally don’t eat a lot of meat.

      Ironically the processed meats are usually more healthy since they contain more of the animal, like cartilage and fat, instead of just lean muscle. (Well unless they are filled with other chemicals…)

        If that fits your nutritional needs, by all means. Just watch the salt content. I get enough calcium, iron, and fat from other sources. Also want to clarify, food is chemicals, everything is chemicals. What did you mean by other chemicals?
