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!

    That’s awesome!! Natives are where it’s at. I got a bunch of drought tolerant natives for the side and front yard, where I don’t have an automatic drip hose set up, and they’re all thriving just fine.

    I’m not sure what to rotate in for the fall garden. Or next year’s, for that matter. I’ve learned so much and in so many ways I still feel like a complete novice! How do you go about planning your gardens?
