Is there a food that is cheap, delicious and healthy at the same time? - Lemmy.world

I have a theory that there is a impossible trinity (like in economics [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impossible_trinity]), 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? [https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/a523e85e-1280-4932-ae09-8b4b45cd7f4c.jpeg]

This will be controversial. I'm going with Costco rotisserie chicken. $5. They taste good fresh but bad reheated. I don't eat the skin

When there's a half inch layer of fat, I think healthy has booked it out the door.

I'm not sure what to mean. Who eats chicken fat?

Some people don't eat the skin because they think it's unhealthy.

Fat is not necessarily unhealthy. The "healthy" qualifier is too subjective here, as everyone has different needs and nutritional goals.

Fat is not necessarily bad though.
