A few things. I doubt very many people ate off of pewter plates, if any meal was eaten on a plate, the plate was a "trencher", plates cut from stale loaves of bread.
Next, people thought that tomatos were poisonous due to the fact the belong to the same family as belladonna, not from any sort of lead poisoning.
Edit: I stated belladonna when I meant nightshade, I apologize. Just for clarification, nightshade is the proper term for belladonna.
:( Awwww, don't spoil it with boring stuff like facts.
