No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

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

Kebab plate with vegetables.

A coleague of mine was eating it when he was on a diet to lose weight. It's basically kebab/gyros meat and a vegetable salad with a dresing (usually tzaziki). You have basically no sugar in it, it's just protein and vitamins.

Back in the day it cost like 4-5 € where I live which was pretty cheap for a lunch. Now it'd more like 6-7 € but that's still decent

That is not at all a healthy meal, lol.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

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?

[–] ComeScoglio@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I guess it depends on where you live and your shop's supplier. In Germany, they're often processed like sausage, produced in factories and delivered frozen to the shops. I'm not totally against processed meat or factory made food, but they don't fit in my nutritional goals. I also generally don't eat a lot of meat.

[–] Double_A@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ironically the processed meats are usually more healthy since they contain more of the animal, like cartilage and fat, instead of just lean muscle. (Well unless they are filled with other chemicals...)

[–] ComeScoglio@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If that fits your nutritional needs, by all means. Just watch the salt content. I get enough calcium, iron, and fat from other sources. Also want to clarify, food is chemicals, everything is chemicals. What did you mean by other chemicals?

[–] Double_A@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Mostly salts...

[–] TheFriendlyDickhead@lemm.ee -3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That happens when you get told as a child that meat is always healthy.

[–] EfreetSK@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thank you for judging my whole childhood based on one comment! 👍

[–] Double_A@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Of all the things one could eat, meat is generally on the healthy side though...
