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

    Umm what’s unhealthy in it? :)

    I guess it depends how we define what’s a healthy meal but in my book few rules to eat healthy are:

    • lower your sugar, flour, potatoes income to minimum
    • lower your fat income and choose right fats
    • eat more fruits and vegetables
    • maintain right ballance of carbs, fats and proteins

    A “kebab salad” sounds quite healthy in that take. Despite sounding strange that a common street food could be healthy

      It’s a lot of salt, processed meat, and the salad bar at a normal kebab shop is not filled with nutrient dense vegetables. If it’s me, I’d eat it as a takeaway and spread the meat over three days’ worth of meals and up the nutrient content with broccoli and nuts.

        Ok fair enough about the salt amount, that’ll be very probably higher. But I don’t know, can you define “processed meat”? Because from how I understand it, kebab is just grilled chicken meat?
