No, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, no, no, yes, maybe (with the lights off).

steamed edamame (soybeans): delicious

commercial peanut butters: don't like PB
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose: I have no need for lactose-free products but I'd probably enjoy it
whole kernel corn: never had it
farmed salmon: salmon is my favourite
lowfat grainfed beef: delicious but probably expensive
pinto, black and kidney beans: fantastic for recipes
albacore tuna: delicious
>80% cocoa dark chocolate: my favourite kind. also surprisingly high in iron
imported organic fruits and vegetables: love, but would try to find local first (cheaper)
food grade wax: eh?

steamed edamame (soybeans)...good
virgin coconut oil...don't use it
commercial peanut butters...creamy please
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose...don't drink
whole kernel corn...chopped up with mayonnaise, parmesan cheese, and hot sauce, i'm mexican, it's our thing
farmed salmon...vegetarian, don't eat this
lowfat grainfed beef...same as above
pinto, black and kidney beans...magical fruit as they say...love me some beans, all kinds
albacore tuna...see "farmed salmon"
>80% cocoa dark chocolate...some good ish
imported organic fruits and vegetables...too expensive
food grade wax...heh?

steamed edamame (soybeans): LOVE. Eat a bag full twice/week.
virgin coconut oil: Fabulous for troubled skin...
commercial peanut butters: I don't care for PB
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose: huh?
whole kernel corn: I don't eat corn
farmed salmon: *shrug* not great, to be honest.
lowfat grainfed beef: i do not turn down beef.
pinto, black and kidney beans: yum yum yum
albacore tuna: ok
>80% cocoa dark chocolate: i can make you some amazing *kitten* with this.
imported organic fruits and vegetables: sure. I like veggies.
food grade wax: oooh! llooook! it's shiny!

steamed edamame (soybeans) - I like. Don't eat it a lot though
virgin coconut oil - never tried it
commercial peanut butters - if it's all natural then yes. If not then no way
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - not lactose intolerant and sucralose tastes fake to me
whole kernel corn- yum
farmed salmon - love me some salmon
lowfat grainfed beef - who wants low fat beef? Unless it's ground beef then sure
pinto, black and kidney beans - yes
albacore tuna - delicious
>80% cocoa dark chocolate - sure.
imported organic fruits and vegetables - "organic" is such a misnomer. If I can buy local I will if not I don't care if it's organic or not
food grade wax - ?????? No?

yum to the 80 percent dark,,,,
just ate a bar of it
goes SWELL with the bottle of red I drank too.

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

steamed edamame (soybeans) - MHEH
virgin coconut oil - YES
commercial peanut butters - YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCKKK
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - YYUUUUUCCCKKK
whole kernel corn - YUM
farmed salmon - YUM
lowfat grainfed beef - YUCK
pinto, black and kidney beans - YUM YUM YUM
albacore tuna - YUM
>80% cocoa dark chocolate - DEPENDS
imported organic fruits and vegetables - DEPENDS
food grade wax - NO IDEA WHAT THIS IS FOR

steamed edamame (soybeans) - very rare in my diet, I don't eat soy (GMO)
virgin coconut oil - I prefer butter and EVOO, but I use VCO sometimes for variety
commercial peanut butters - laden with sugars, hydrogenated veg oils, not good for you
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - the only good part in this product is the chocolate, everything else is a NO
whole kernel corn - nope, very high carbs, spikes blood sugar and it is GMO
farmed salmon - yikes, no! They are fed GMO corn feed with pink colouring
lowfat grainfed beef - no, I only eat grass fed, free range
pinto, black and kidney beans - they are not good for your heart and yes they do make you f art
albacore tuna - yes
>80% cocoa dark chocolate - yes, Lindt my favorite
imported organic fruits and vegetables - ok, but in small quantities and as an occasional treat
food grade wax - as in beeswax? Not harmful, used on fruits, cheeses, etc, for many years, better than harmful chemical fungicides

I've read or heard of significant issues that outline risks on all of those except the 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?

Eta: risks that I ignore

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
virgin coconut oil - yes!
commercial peanut butters - prefer 100% nut butters
lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - don't drink milk regularly or have artificial sweeteners
whole kernel corn - no to corn
farmed salmon - preferably not
lowfat grainfed beef - if grain fed is the only option then lean is good. Prefer organic and grass fed.
pinto, black and kidney beans - meh.
albacore tuna - don't like tuna
>80% cocoa dark chocolate - sometimes.
imported organic fruits and vegetables - avoid
food grade wax - would rather not?
