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.

Carrots. I just bought a five pound bag of carrots for three dollars. Roast them for like 40 min at 400 and they come out like sweet potatoes. Also potatoes are good. If you roast chickpeas with the carrots they turn into like peanuts.

Smart and final will have a 30 pound bag of carrots for like 12. How many pounds of carrots cna you eat a day? Put some hummus on them. Or like barbecue sauce and you are chillin.

Also don't buy hummus, it's expensive as shit. A can of chick peas, tahini, and lemon juice is much cheaper and all you have to do is blend it. It also tastes much better
