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

    Dietary cholesterol is not correlated with blood cholesterol…

    A great number of epidemiological studies and meta-analysis indicate that dietary cholesterol is not associated with CVD risk nor with elevated plasma cholesterol concentrations. Clinical interventions in the last 20 years demonstrate that challenges with dietary cholesterol do not increase the biomarkers associated with heart disease risk. Further, in the specific circumstances where eggs are the source of dietary cholesterol, an improvement in dyslipidemias is observed due to the formation of less atherogenic lipoproteins and changes in HDL associated with a more efficient reverse cholesterol transport.

      When we’re talking about consuming it as a major component of the diet things change. 2 eggs a day is something like 140 cal. A dozen eggs a day to get half your calorie needs, 7 dozen eggs per week? No studies have been done where there’s been that degree of dietary cholesterol.

      Edit - the answer to OPs question is probably lentils.
