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. If you live near an asian/indian market (and, honestly, probably african too although I’ve never actually been to one) your spices and rice/beans get a LOT cheaper.

    But, generally, when you are looking for “cheap” you are also managing time and there are decent odds of not having a good “specialty” market on your way. Whereas that bag of questionable percentage sawdust is definitely at the corner store.
