Kanye West wants you to know that if you’re looking to pack on the pounds, he’s more than happy to assist. The 31-year-old rapper is the proud new owner of the rights to 10 Fatburger Restaurants in the Chicago area. The chain, which features such items as the “Fatburger”, “Baby Fat Burger”, and “King Burger” is very popular on the West coast scene. We might also add, thankfully, that a “Veggie Burger” from Boca also exists on the menu.

Still, it’s rather unfortunate in a time when Americans could use better nutrition, we’re instead treated to further crap from places like Fatburger; not to mention the impact on the planet of ingesting more meat and building up factory farming.

Kanye West has always been a bit of an enigma — after all, this is the same guy who ordered takeout from the UK last year for a meeting he was having in New York City. Sure, he participated in Live Earth, but with business ventures like this one, it’s pretty clear that PR was the only thing on his mind at that time.

Chicago, we’re sorry. We hope something a bit more healthy pops up on the scene soon.
