Vegetarian Star

He ain’t nothing but a burger digger.

Kanye West is giving Fatburger boys in Chai Town the option of a veggie burger. Well, maybe he’s not specifically offering veggie burgers, but he’s become the owner of 10 Fatburger Franchises in the Chicago area.

Besides the usual fare of greasy, bloody Baby Fat and Kingburgers, Fatburger also offers a Boca Burger. While this probably won’t convert Fatburger’s loyal flesh lovers, at least it does provide some healthier options. We don’t know the details about how a Fatburger Boca Burger is cooked (on the same grill as meat or not), so this may or not please all vegetarians.

The first restaurant is set to open in Orland Park in September.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta was a strict vegan for awhile. Lately, he thinks his body is telling him to do some egg every now and then. From an interview with The Dwarf.

D: What have you been eating lately?

O: Eating!? Oh yeah let’s talk, I’ll talk about that! Lately I’ve been also incorporating more things into my diet. It’s been nice to taste new foods and stuff.

D: Because you were pretty strict for a while, right?

O: Yeah very strict, very regimented. I mean, I still don’t eat sugar or caffeine or anything like that. For a while there, I was just eating ‘no processed foods’ so nothing that wasn’t natural. If I could look at it and couldn’t define every ingredient that was in it, I just didn’t want to put it in my body. But lately I’ve been eating eggs for protein and stuff. And it’s been strange for me, you know, psychologically (laughs while talking) or mentally, as lame as that sounds. Ha, but my body really loves it and so I have to listen to my body because it knows more than me.

D: So are you finding a lot more energy…?

O:Well, yeah that’s what happened is that my body was telling me things, and it was falling apart, and it was giving up on me, and then so it interfered on me being able to work and me being able to express myself correctly. And so I talked to a nutritionalist[sic], and you know I’ve always fought against the idea you need animal protein and all that blah blah, and I fought that for fifteen years. But at the end of the day I also didn’t take care of myself and I didn’t take supplements because I didn’t want to take pills, blah blah blah. At some point you make some sort of a decision of what’s more important. And so I thought of it, he said, “think of it as you’re taking medicine. You’re sick, and you need medicine. So take it for a while and see what happens.” And so I made the egg, I cooked it and I felt bad for this little chicken, that I took her egg, and I ate it and then my body wanted more! It just said “Gimme more of that, I like that!”
