    steamed edamame (soybeans) - No, I don't eat added soy.
    virgin coconut oil - Yes, a good fat source.
    commercial peanut butters - Not if they have added sugar or transfats. Otherwise, yes.

    whole kernel corn - I don't do well with corn, but it's okay for most people.
    farmed salmon - Good source of protein, not a good source of omega3s.
    lowfat grainfed beef - Better than no meat at all.
    pinto, black and kidney beans - I'm down with kidney beans. The others I don't eat, not a fan.
    albacore tuna - Yes.

    imported organic fruits and vegetables - Sure, if you like fresh produce.

    steamed edamame (soybeans) - never tried it and don't know the benefits but it seems good so give it a try!
    virgin coconut oil - yes yes yes there are so many health benefits you just need it so bad you can also use virgin olive oil too for stirfrys and stuff.
    commercial peanut butters - I don't like just fully clean PB's so I understand where your coming from so yeah I eat them too makes no difference to my weightloss just not too much of them!
    lactose free chocolate milk sweetened with sucralose - nah I wouldn't but if you like it then why not
    whole kernel corn - don't know haha!
    farmed salmon - yeah It's a better price you can't have everything free range haha

    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

    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
