How can I retrieve the profile2 fields selected in a custom module?

Question

I am totally new to entities in Drupal. I have used the Profile2 module to add a few profile types. This is displayed in the add/user screen as Customer.

After adding the profile type I manage the fields and add a new entry called cust with a field_id of field_cid. This is setup as a list(text) and checkbox widget.

When I edit a user I have a checkbox list for Customer that can be selected by each user. I have a custom module that I am trying to read the selected value by $user->uid from the profile2 field.

The idea is to retrieve the selected item in my module and format the return values to the user from a custom DB table. Here is what I have tried and got results but cannot get all the values.

In my module using:

$profile = profile2_load_by_user($user->uid);$list = field_view_field('profile2', $profile['customer'], 'field_cid');print_r($list)

I get this result:

Array ( [#theme] => field [#weight] => 0 [#title] => cust [#access] => 1 [#label_display] => above [#view_mode] => _custom_display [#language] => und [#field_name] => field_cid [#field_type] => list_text [#field_translatable] => 0 [#entity_type] => profile2 [#bundle] => customer [#object] => Profile Object ( [pid] => 9 [type] => customer [label] => Customer [uid] => 1 [created] => 1409542969 [changed] => 1409545821 [entityType:protected] => profile2 [entityInfo:protected] => Array ( [label] => Profile [plural label] => Profiles [description] => Profile2 user profiles.

I want the name in the last line [#markup] only returned to my function. In the above output the returned values should be Disney and Burger King.

How can I retrieve these values only?

Finally this is giving me the results I am after:

$profile = profile2_load_by_user($user->uid);
$customer = field_get_items('profile2', $profile['customer'], 'field_cid');
$key = array();
foreach($customer as $item=>$value){
  $output = field_view_value('profile2', $profile['customer'], 'field_cid', $customer[$item]);
  $key[] = strip_tags(render($output));
}
foreach($key as $word) {
  echo $word . "</br>";
}
