Then he did what Stevie Wonder does: he improvised a melody about how much he loves being vegan, in perfect pitch, in a moving car.<\/p>\n<p>Do the math on that quote and you land at the end of 2013 as his vegan start date, which means 2026 marks more than a decade of plants for the man who wrote Songs in the Key of Life. The groundwork was laid much earlier: he&rsquo;d already given up pork and beef at age 24, back in the mid-seventies.<\/p>\n<style>.tiv-verdict{border-left:6px solid #29a579;background:#f8decd;padding:18px 22px;margin:28px 0;border-radius:0 14px 14px 0;color:#0a4a4a}.tiv-verdict .tiv-badge{display:inline-block;background:#106050;color:#fff;padding:4px 14px;border-radius:999px;font-size:14px;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:.4px;margin-bottom:8px}.tiv-verdict p{margin:8px 0 0}.tiv-check{font-size:13px;color:#0a6b6c;margin-top:10px}details.tiv-tl{border:1px solid #e5ded4;border-radius:10px;margin:10px 0;background:#fff}details.tiv-tl summary{cursor:pointer;padding:13px 16px;font-weight:600;color:#0a4a4a}details.tiv-tl[open] summary{border-bottom:1px solid #f0ebe2}details.tiv-tl .tiv-tlb{padding:12px 16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq{border:2px solid #29a579;border-radius:14px;padding:22px;margin:30px 0;background:#fff}.tivq .tivq-q{margin:16px 0;padding:14px;background:#f6f3ec;border-radius:10px}.tivq .tivq-q p{font-weight:600;margin:0 0 10px}.tivq button{display:block;width:100%;text-align:left;margin:6px 0;padding:11px 14px;border:1px solid #d9d2c5;border-radius:8px;background:#fff;cursor:pointer;font-size:16px;color:#0a4a4a}.tivq button.tiv-ok{background:#29a579;color:#fff;border-color:#29a579}.tivq button.tiv-no{background:#fbe9e4;border-color:#e59875}.tivq .tivq-res{display:none;font-weight:700;margin-top:14px;font-size:18px;color:#106050}<\/style>\n<div class=\"tiv-verdict\"><span class=\"tiv-badge\">QUICK ANSWER<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Yes, Stevie Wonder is vegan,<\/strong> since around late 2013. The freshest public evidence is his foreword to a vegan cookbook, where he wrote that its author &#8220;can teach you how to become vegan for the rest of your life&#8221;. No source reports him quitting.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Health, planet, spirit<\/h2>\n<p>Wonder&rsquo;s reasons are the full spectrum.

Her job included perfecting tofu bacon good enough for a Motown legend. A decade later, Wonder wrote the foreword to her 2024 cookbook Simple Goodness, <a href=\"https:\/\/vegnews.com\/stevie-wonder-makini-howell\">as VegNews reported in April 2026<\/a>: &ldquo;Makini can teach you how to become vegan for the rest of your life if you desire.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;For the rest of your life.&rdquo; From a man twelve years in, that reads less like a blurb and more like a plan.<\/p>\n<h2>The vegan timeline, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>Mid-1970s: pork and beef are out<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">At 24, at the height of his classic album run, Wonder stops eating pork and beef.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>Late 2013: fully vegan<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">Health, environment and spiritual reasons converge.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Vegetarier bin ich seit dem 6. Lebensjahr, vegan seit \u00fcber 20 Jahren. Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt's dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40535","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40535"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40535\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40570,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40535\/revisions\/40570"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40630"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40535"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40535"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40535"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40535"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40535"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40535"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
