For the Converted And a Few Others(2012/02/07)
  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 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.
   Some vegetarians exhibit a missionary impulse, forever trying to convince their friends that eating meat is cruel, unhealthy or wasteful. When spoken words — or a copy of “The Jungle” — 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.
   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.”
   In 2005, Mr. Anderson became interested in melamine, a tough plastic that was commonly used for dishes in the 1950s and ’60s, often sold under the Melmac brand. Melamine plates fell out of favor during the 1970s, and were replaced by polyethylene plastics that were lighter, cheaper and, perhaps most important, microwave-safe. Melamine tends to warp when zapped in a microwave.
