What is the point of Designer plates?

Normally this doesn’t happen, but I actually had a conversation with someone at work today about paper plates.  I know, not the most exciting thing, but we both agreed on the same point:

Why do we use plates with designs on them?

I have never understood this.  I’m sure the paper plates are beautiful, but what is the point of a paper plate?  To display the food on it!  I’m sorry, I think it’s pretty obvious, but to some people, the plate needs to stand out more than the food.

I would use plain colored plates first before I used anything designer.  If you notice, many chefs use white plates or black plates because they want the foods on that plate to stand out.  After all, you’re just going to throw a paper plate away after you are finished with it.

Do you guys agree with me?  Go plain or go home!
