Ever wonder if you’re getting your daily requirements of orange? How about yellow? Just how much is TOO much blue? Well, thankfully Icelandic designer Hafsteinn Juliusson (of design firm HAF, natch) has solved the riddle for you, Batman, with these color-coded plates.
His website describes the ceramic plates as follows:
Are you eating right? The wheel of nutrition is a dining plate that reminds us of the fundamental values of nutrition. The plate comes in three types: Diet, Extra ordinary and Supersize. These plates have different proportions for people with different needs. The archetype of the ceramic plate is enhanced with explanatory
graphics and distinctive colors.
No word on whether or not residents of Reykjavik have the same dietary needs as people in say, Akron, Ohio, but these plates do offer a sound solution to helping people figure out the right proportion of food to eat, without using a pesky scale.
Strangely enough, these plates aren’t currently listed for sale in the STORE section of their website.

I would totally hack that plate. ‘hmmm….green means veggies, eh? well, now it means CHEESE, motherf*cker!’ — Kate
