commercial peanut butters - Not if they have added sugar or transfats. Otherwise, yes.

farmed salmon - Good source of protein, not a good source of omega3s.

melaniecheeks

steamed edamame (soybeans): I like edamame. Not sure if steaming is important rather than other methods
virgin coconut oil: I bought some coconut oil, and I rarely use it. Again, not sure if the virgin bit is important
commercial peanut butters: define commercial. There's a whole earth peanut butter I like, but I also love almonds and hazelnut butters. How do they measure up?
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose: chocolate milk, I love after a long run. I don't need it to be lactose free or sweetened with sucres lose- again, I'm guessing there an ulterior motive to this question?
whole kernel corn: corn on the cob? It's ok. I could live without. Corns a funny one when defining 5 a day veg, or net carbs etc.
farmed salmon: salmon is great. Wild salmon lovely, but expensive and hard to find. I've no objections to my salmon being farmed. Most stuff I eat is farmed.
lowfat grainfed beef: I have no idea what this is or where I might find it
pinto, black and kidney beans: I love beans, very versatile, good protein, cheap, not sure why those 3 varieties are being singled out
albacore tuna: I eat any tuna
>80% cocoa dark I eat any chocolate
imported organic fruits and vegetables: imported- depends where you are. I love to buy local, but that's pretty restrictive, so I've no issue with imported foods. Organic stuff I find goes off quicker ( less preservatives so yeah.,) and I'm not convinced about any advantages
food grade wax: no idea

rawhidenadz

steamed edamame (soybeans): yum
virgin coconut oil: yum
commercial peanut butters: blech
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose: nah
whole kernel corn: sure
farmed salmon: ehhh
lowfat grainfed beef: not a fan of beef
pinto, black and kidney beans: YES.
albacore tuna: yes
>80% cocoa dark chocolate: i like 85%
imported organic fruits and vegetables: imported? really? why not go for local fruits and veggies?
food grade wax: ?????????

From estrogens to salmonella to aflatoxins to mercury to hormones to E. coli to ...
You forgot canned tomatoes.

Do I win something?

JenSD6

steamed edamame (soybeans) - Meh, I'll pass, not a fan of soy anything

soupandcookies

sjp_511

steamed edamame (soybeans) - not a fan
virgin coconut oil - never had it
commercial peanut butters - I have Jiff in my pantry. It's what I was raised on - my dad loves his PB and is very particular about brand.
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - never had it
whole kernel corn - My family raises sweet corn. We freeze it for the months when we can't have it fresh.
farmed salmon - I don't get too particular about farm raised vs. wild caught
lowfat grainfed beef - My family raises beef cattle (grain fed). We get together once a year and process our own. I know everything that has been fed to the cow I am eating and I cut the steaks myself.
pinto, black and kidney beans - I buy canned beans and rinse before cooking with them. I never seem to let the dry beans soak long enough and then they are too tough. I use black beans often.
albacore tuna - I always bought chunk light tuna in water (because that is what I was raised on). Then I sent my husband to the grocery store and he got the albacore since he didn't know better. It has a slighttly different taste. Now we mix it up, but still never buy the stuff in oil. Accidently grabbed it once and hated it.
>80% cocoa dark chocolate - I prefer milk chocolate over dark.
imported organic fruits and vegetables - Here in the upper midwest, we get a lot of produce imported from Mexico since local is only available for a short time. I am not organic only.
food grade wax - I used it once a long time ago to make some homemade candy (it was an old recipe). But I have found other ways to make candy without the wax.
