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

    Getting too much mercury seems like it would be more of a concern than too much iodine.

      dunno about elsewhere, but the EU (and still be default the UK) has pretty strict regulations on mercury levels. In white tuna its a concern, but skipjack which is the bulk of canned tuna, its not an issue (if you are in the EU)

      Just checked: Skipjack tuna which certainly in the UK is the bulk of the tinned tuna, is considered “low” for mercury, alongside things like trout, whitefish, mullet, salmon etc.
