Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time?
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 just made one! https://lemmy.world/c/cheaphealthyfood
Can I kindly suggest maybe making a guideline post as to what constitutes "healthy"? It was really sad to see all of the people on the previous sub posting their supposedly "healthy" meals that weren't anywhere close to healthy. I get that there's a need to leave room for people who are starting at zero and still improving, but it also shapes people's perceptions in a very real and misguided way. If reliably sourced and well moderated that would make the space a lot better.
Great idea! I agree, it's such a good point.
Edited to add: I added a blurb to the community - please let me know if you think it needs any changes. Thanks again, I really appreciate the insightful feedback :)
