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) and vegetables
- lentils, beans, rice
- mushrooms
- chicken
- just eat in moderation
Edit 2: Thanks for the various answers. Now there are a lot of (mostly bean-based) recipes for everyone to try out!
Also someone made a community for cheap healthy food after seeing this topic!
I feel you, eating one thing over and over again is not fun. How did you end up disliking everything? Was it gradual or were you always like that?
Oh, I was always like that. I figured I’d grow out of it because kids are always picky/fussy eaters and as an adult I’d suddenly like all these foods I hated as a kid. Tried so many variations on all these things I despised over the years thinking certainly there has to be some way it’s prepared that I like. Haha, nope.
My body and brain is weird.
