Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?

nijntjefan@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 93 points –

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

What causes the carcinogenic particles?

There was a paper somewhere that shows the high temperature cooking method would result in release of acrylamide? I don't remember the exact chemical it talked about but the gist is that the person eating the air-fried food aren't as susceptible to the carcinogens than the person cooking the food because the particles got pushed out the fryer very rapidly.

But you said that the air fryer causes the carcinogenic particles.
