That's quite a narrow definition of politics. I'd say anything that humans do that is perceived by others to be part of a social structure that maintains or challenges social norms and power relations is political.
Only if veganism itself becomes something nobody would challenge (like health is better than death, breathing is important) or if you are the last person on earth you can become the first apolitical vegan.
Topics like sports are also very opinionated but no one calls them political.
Welcome to the Olympics.
