The New Jersey senator went vegan in 2014, sits on the Senate Agriculture Committee as its first known vegan member, and has repeatedly introduced a bill to phase out America&rsquo;s largest factory farms. When people ask &ldquo;is Cory Booker vegan,&rdquo; the answer isn&rsquo;t just yes. It&rsquo;s yes, and he&rsquo;s arguably the most consequential vegan in American politics.<\/p>\n<p>He&rsquo;s also the guy who, after delivering the longest speech in Senate history, broke his fast with pineapple and watermelon.

As of his record-breaking April 2025 Senate speech, national coverage still identified him as vegan, and there's no sign that's changed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>It started with Gandhi<\/h2>\n<p>Booker&rsquo;s origin story is the most literary on this whole list. As a student at Oxford in 1992, he read Gandhi&rsquo;s autobiography, The Story of My Experiments with Truth, and cut out meat to see how his body responded. Vegetarianism stuck. Research into animal welfare and the environmental toll of animal agriculture did the rest, and on Election Day, November 4, 2014, he ate his last non-vegan meal.<\/p>\n<p>In his own words, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CoryBooker\/status\/866084864851755008\">via X<\/a>: &ldquo;Been a vegetarian since 1992 and vegan since 2014.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He&rsquo;s refreshingly honest about the unglamorous phase, too. He&rsquo;s admitted to being &ldquo;too much of a junk food vegan, empty carbs, sugar, fat&rdquo; before shifting to whole foods, and he loves pointing out that Pringles and Skittles are technically vegan. Relatable.<\/p>\n<h2>The vegan timeline, tap to expand<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>1992: Gandhi at Oxford<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He reads Gandhi's autobiography, cuts out meat, and goes vegetarian. &#8220;My veganism started then,&#8221; he'd later say.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>November 4, 2014: fully vegan<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">On Election Day he eats his last non-vegan meal and commits to veganism for good.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>2019: the presidential run<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He runs for president, widely tagged as a potential &#8220;first vegan president,&#8221; and introduces the Farm System Reform Act.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>February 2021: the Ag Committee<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He becomes the first known vegan senator on the Senate Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee, the body that oversees the food system, then reintroduces his factory-farm bill.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>March 2023: the cultivated-meat tasting<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He tastes GOOD Meat cultivated (slaughter-free) chicken, his first &#8220;meat&#8221; since the 1990s, and says &#8220;It tastes phenomenal.&#8221; Not vegan strictly, but a deliberate endorsement of a no-slaughter technology.<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>April 2025: the record<\/summary>\n<div class=\"tiv-tlb\">He delivers the longest Senate floor speech in history, 25 hours and 5 minutes, fasting beforehand. He breaks it with pineapple and watermelon. Coverage: &#8220;Booker, who is vegan&#8230;&#8221;<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<h2>The bill that could actually matter<\/h2>\n<p>Menus are nice. Legislation is bigger. Booker&rsquo;s signature effort is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.booker.senate.gov\/\">Farm System Reform Act<\/a>, which would place a moratorium on new and expanding large factory farms (CAFOs), require existing ones to stop operating at that scale by 2040, crack down on meatpacker monopolies, restore country-of-origin labeling, and fund voluntary buyouts to move farmers toward pasture-based and specialty-crop operations. He&rsquo;s introduced it repeatedly since 2019.<\/p>\n<p>That&rsquo;s the difference between a celebrity vegan and a legislator vegan. One changes their plate; the other tries to change the system that fills everyone&rsquo;s.<\/p>\n<h2>The one honest asterisk<\/h2>\n<p>We flag it because honesty is the point: in 2023 Booker ate cultivated chicken, meat grown from animal cells without slaughter. Strict vegans note that cultivated meat isn&rsquo;t technically vegan, since its production starts from animal cells. But it wasn&rsquo;t a lapse; it was a public bet on a technology that could end slaughter entirely. Every source dated after it still calls him vegan. Read it as conviction, not compromise.<\/p>\n<h2>Fact or fiction?<\/h2>\n<details class=\"tiv-tl\">\n<summary>He broke a 25-hour Senate speech with fruit.

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\/40652","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=40652"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40652\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40672,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40652\/revisions\/40672"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40651"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40652"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40652"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40652"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40652"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40652"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40652"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
