The issue with this joke is that it's 100% confirmation bias. You know that all the vegans tell you they're vegan because you don't know about the ones that didn't.
It made more sense 20 years ago when it was more generally true. Veganism seems to have spread beyond the merely self-righteous now. It's a very old joke (possibly from the 90?s).
I think you could go cheaper. A sound detection sensor is a bit cheaper, and it just needs to detect the word 'vegan.'
Strangely enough I've heard far more people make this "joke" than actual vegans speaking up. Even when living in LA.

“Practically everyone knows what veganism is, but vegans are actually a very small minority.
There are more Americans with gambling addictions than there are people committed to vegan diets!”

That's the trick, you invert the logic. If you hear the word vegan, assume the person saying it is not.
Come on, that's simple, just use voice recognition since the vegan won't stop telling the sensor about it.
