going vegan

Rejecting animal products

Going vegan is adopting a lifestyle that excludes animal products—no meat, dairy, eggs, or often leather and wool.

The phrase emphasizes the transition rather than the established state: I'm thinking about going vegan.

Someone who has completed the shift simply *is* vegan.

The choice may be ethical, environmental, or health-related.
