History Main / Veganopia

* ''Film/MrNobody'': By 2092 humanity has conquered mortality and the consumption of meat (which the main character laments) and HousepetPigs are popular.

%%* ''Videogame/HarvestMoon'' games all take place in a ''pescatarian'' society (i.e. they eat fish, but not meat). Of course, since the idea of the game is to [[VideoGameCaringPotential make you care for your animals]], it would be a little cruel to be able to eat them as well.
%%* The Japanese of ''Videogame/AgeOfEmpires 3'' are quite nearly this since they're the only civilization that can't gather food from wild or domestic animals, however, they can still fish.
* ZigZagged by ''Franchise/{{Pokemon}}''. The various regions (except maybe [[WretchedHive Orre]]) appear to be borderline post-scarcity, and according to WordOfGod the majority of the meat consumed by humans in the setting is either [[ArtificialMeat synthetic]] (since [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness real-world animals were retconned out]]) or parts that fall off naturally and regenerate. However, there are rare exceptions as Farfetch'd and certain aquatic Pokémon like Sharpedo and Basculin have been considered delicacies in the past. The series carries [[SolarPunk heavy themes of respecting nature]], and the fact that InterspeciesRomance between humans and Pokémon used to be common complicates matters even further.
* In ''VideoGame/BlackAndWhite:'' The simple, pacifistic villagers of the first game only farm grain, despite having sheep and cows on hand, and the player gains evil points for putting animals into the village store to be eaten.

* ''VideoGame/AvenColony'': You can grow or trade for a variety of plants for your colonists, both earth plants and aliens ones, but meat is not available or mentioned.

%%* Humans in James Gurney's ''Literature/{{Dinotopia}}'' are generally vegans -- "No milk, no meat, and no eggs." Not that milk is easy to come by, given that the only large mammals on the island live in inhospitable mountains. And when the local cow- and chicken-equivalents are the sentient dinosaurs who make up a large portion of the population, well... They used fish as part of diplomatic terms with some T-Rexes so fish seem OK. Material in subsequent books (including a mammoth being milked in ''Journey to Chandara'' and mentions of shellfish catching in ''Hand of Dinotopia'') suggest that most of Dinotopia is actually pescatarian.

%%* The future humans in Creator/AnneMcCaffrey's ''Literature/TheShipWho'' universe are all vegetarians, except for some "backward" {{mutants}}.

* Technology similar to the UterineReplicator in Creator/LoisMcMasterBujold's ''Literature/VorkosiganSaga'' allows people to create "vat protein" with no animals being harmed. No one is a true vegan, but when forced to eat meat from a real animal, Cordelia is distinctly uncomfortable (Outside of one time when she'd been forced on a diet of oatmeal and salad dressing for several days for lack of any alternative). How "vegan" this situation is proves debatable in ''Ethan of Athos'', where the reader is shown just where the protein in those vats comes from when the characters use the animal protein reclamation system to [[ImAHumanitarian covertly dispose of a dead body.]]

* In ''Manga/SoulHunter'', Sennin have powers normal humans can only dream off and live in a floating, hi-tech mountain range in the sky. Because they use up less energy than normal people, they can subsist exclusively on fruits and vegetables, while eating meat or fish is forbidden. Likewise, the people of Tosenkyo (an isolated utopia country created by one of the Three Great Sennins) seemingly follow the same dietary conditions and strict morals, only breeding sheep for wool. By contrast, Monster Sennin tend to be far more amoral and have no qualms about eating meat ([[IAmAHumanitarian or flesh]]).

* In ''Film/LogansRun'' (at least the movie), it seems the characters are vegan: when faced with the concept that humans once raised animals for food, Jessica remarks that "it must have been a savage world". Of course, what they don't know is that their own food source died out years ago and they've been [[ImAHumanitarian eating frozen people]] for decades.

* VideoGame/AvenColony: You can grow or trade for a variety of plants for your colonists, both earth plants and aliens ones, but meat is not available or mentioned.

Straight examples often go hand-in-hand with VirtuousVegetarianism. Probably stems from the issues raised by CarnivoreConfusion and LetsMeetTheMeat. See also MarySuetopia and PerfectPacifistPeople. See HerbivoresAreFriendly for the herbivorous animal equivalent.

* ''Series/DoctorWho'': In the [[MarySuetopia successful hippie commune]] of the Third Doctor serial "The Green Death", the local MartyStu is on the hunt for a mushroom that tastes like meat, with the implication that it would eliminate the need for meat, and therefore meat-eating altogether.

** Veganism seems common on Federation ships due to access to replicators that can create very convincing meat substitutes, avoiding the need to keep the real stuff in storage on long voyages. Attitudes about veganism vary widely, from disdain toward the concept of eating meat - like Riker claiming they don't enslave animals for food anymore, to acceptance - like Picard importing genuine seafood at what was implied to be great expense to eagerness: Dax and other patrons of Klingon cuisine complaining that their ''gagh'' is too dead.
