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.

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.
