    steamed edamame (soybeans) - Meh. Not that into it, and try to avoid soy for hormonal reasons
    virgin coconut oil - I use it sometimes...
    commercial peanut butters - yum. Especially JIF.
    lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - sounds gross.
    whole kernel corn - mmmmmm
    farmed salmon - Not a fish person
    lowfat grainfed beef - I don't really eat red meat
    pinto, black and kidney beans - love.
    albacore tuna - the only fish I eat - I like the Wild Planet brand
    >80% cocoa dark chocolate - love.
    imported organic fruits and vegetables - I have no opinion on this.
    food grade wax - no opinion on this, although it sounds gross.

    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.

    steamed edamame (soybeans) - no to soy
