SAN ANTONIO, Texas — “I realize this will be an adjustment,” said San Antonio Mayor Ivy Taylor, announcing to local reporters that she was declaring San Antonio a meat-free zone for the period of July 2-11.

Mayor Taylor said that in recognition of what she called “new market realities” imposed by tens of thousands of Seventh-day Adventists descending upon her city for the July 2-11 General Conference Session, there was a business incentive for the city’s restaurants to go “totally veggie” for the entirety of the event.

Taylor said that while she realized not all Adventists are vegetarian, many non-vegetarian members still pretend to be meat abstainers around large crowds of fellow Adventists. “So there really won’t be any point trying to tempt them with a carving station,” said Taylor. Instead, Taylor recommended that restauranteurs acquaint themselves with the ever-growing list of meat subsititutes offered by “Adventist-friendly” brands like Loma Linda/Worthington.

“I know that this will be a kick in the stomach to our barbecue-loving locals but look at the bright side: This may be your chance to try barbecue tofu,” said Mayor Taylor, addressing the rest of her constituents. She noted that “millions of Seventh-day Adventists around the world seem to survive year-round without eating so much as a solitary rib, so we can tough out vegetarianism while these guys are in town.”

    Have Adventists discovered QUORN meatless meats? Way better than anything by Loma Linda and Worthington.

    Bacon (!), sausage links and patties, burgers, chicken, ground beef, turkey, meatballs . . . took me by surprise, when I tried the chicken it was the tastiest chicken I ever ate, you’d never know there was no chicken in it, but there isn’t.
