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.

Rice and potatos are bangers. Lentils also hit but idk how they hold up price wise.

Any ancient grain helps with spicing things up as well. Think Freekeh and Farroh
