Indigestive Plate by Raphael Morgan
These are classic ceramic dinner plates that have a message about poverty and hunger printed in thermochromatic ink. At room temperature the plate seems conventional, but when a dinner guest begins to finish their hot meal, they are confronted with a message such as: “Every day 16,000 children die of hunger-related causes.”

I suppose that’s why it’s called the indigestive plate, because no one wants to digest those types of facts. From what I read about it, the designer seemed somewhat bitter. It actually got worse, he goes on to say that he imagines disguising them in a “snob” restaurant or political meeting. So yes, I agree with you, I wouldn’t enjoying eating off these plates either.
