Can we categorise edible and non-edible items?

Edible comes from the Latin word edere, which means "to eat". Anything that people can safely eat without getting sick is described as edible. 

Eg: fruits, vegetables, the meat of certain animals.

Non-edible is defined as anything that we cant eat if we consume it will make us sick.

Eg: plastic toys, some foods are poisonous like certain types of mushrooms.
