My question is: Is it safe to eat from plastic ware?

Bottlefed babies drinking from plastic, plastic spoon, bowl, plates, plastic cups,..................microwaved plastic dishes,

Depends on what type of plastic.

Some should be avoided at all costs.

If it is BPA free would be a good start.

How much exposure to non bpa free plastic and how long it was used for, would it take for any symptoms to show?

That's a bit disturbing polks. The kids were revolted all the way through until the chicken bits became something they could identify i.e., nuggets, then they would quite happily eat them. Probably not quite the effect Jamie was hoping for, or did I miss something?

Is it safe to eat plastic?

Eating plastic is much safer than munching on imported berries. Start with small items first like bits of Lego

Correct scarlet.

Is it safe to eat plastic?

It's complex. Depends on which plastics.

But most will simply pass through us with miniscule effect if at all. So yes, safe.

The concern is more when foods and liquids are heated in certain plastic containers that chemicals may leach.

In small amounts probably won't effect humans, but on a regular basis, it can contribute to health concerns.

ask all the marine creatures that try to exist with the plastic rubbish in the pacific gyre.

That people manufacture cheap in 3rd world countries creating huge pollution problems so others can import it for resale creating mountains of rubbish made from cheap disposables.. etc etc

And to add to that icy, you would gasp at the amount of water and energy used to produce those products.

If you buy at McDonalds then just eat what you get.

You know the risks. Just don't feed it to your kids.
