SOME vegetarians exhibit a missionary impulse, forever trying to
convince their friends that eating meat is cruel, unhealthy or
wasteful. When spoken words =97 or a copy of "The Jungle" =97 fail to
persuade, these herbivores may start using disturbing visual aids:
photographs of caged calves or documentaries on the short, brutish
lives of confined chickens.
Vegetarians who prefer a more whimsical approach, however, can now
choose the four-plate Food for Thought dishware set. Three of the
plates are decorated with clinical schematics of commonly eaten
animals, showing exactly where bacon is hacked off a pig, or loin
chops removed from a lamb =97 potentially unpleasant reminders of meat's
back story. And, as a macabre twist, one of the plates features a
similarly diagrammed dog, implicitly asking what separates an Angus
bull from a beloved family pet.
Charles S. Anderson, the plates' designer, says he is a "vegetarian by
default," by virtue of his wife's renouncing of meat. His primary goal
in creating the dishes was not to advocate a bloodless diet, he says,
but rather to celebrate one of his great passions: plastic.
"I have about 150,000 plastic pieces," said Mr. Anderson, owner of the
Charles S. Anderson Design Company in Minneapolis. "I look at plastic
as a folk art. It's a pretty amazing, pretty futuristic material."
