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

        Always remember - the flavor of their food and the beauty of their women led Britain to be the greatest seafaring nation in the world.

      The article appears to be motivated by promoting a book written by someone, i don’t think a book sales article is representative of scientific practices and impartiality in science

      Huh, interesting, that page says that vegan diets “reduced food costs by up to one third [emphasis mine]”, which I guess is nothing to scoff at but on the other hand doesn’t seem that large; I would have expected the relative cost of including meat in your diet to increase food costs by much more given how resource-intensive it is to produce meat compared to producing vegetables.

        The prices of animal products are kept artificially low by subsidies and don’t reflex the real world cost.
