Like, I know most chicken is grown in the most unsanitary conditions possible and it can’t possibly be healthy to buy the standard stuff at the grocery store (or is it?).

What about fruits and veggies? Can I just buy that stuff at the cheapest store without it causing more cancer than the higher priced options?

Trying to find the perfect combination of cheap, nutritious, and bereft of microplastics.

Love that beanis in my mouth.

On that note…is it worth to pay a couple of cents extra for the ‘organic’ beanis instead pf regs?

If you're going to pay more for beans, shop around for some fancy stuff that comes out tasting like butter soup or chicken. It's not really that expensive since they're still beans.

It really depends what you have in America or wherever you are. I got these weird red and white beans, I'll see if I can find the name. They weren't worth importing again but in America they would be worth it. They were very good for making a well-blended stew, really leaning into the cream o' the bean, but that's a kind of side dish I only make rarely.

Not all regular supermarkets have the best dried beans either so it may not even be more expensive just harder to find. I hate a bad bean...

It's a marginal improvement maybe, but if you're comparing it to processed food it's negligible. The one exception I make is for peanut butter since peanuts are basically hashem's bioremediation tool. They suck everything out of the soil and farmers will use them to condition bad land sometimes.
