We are all indeed different.
On that Vegan thing, my sister was (is ?) one and now lives in California LOL ,( a Canadian expatriate). I've seen her diet. It can be healthy, but man the amount of effort required for a balanced diet is far too time consuming for my taste . It really effects one's lifestyle (from what I've observed). My dad's also a vegetarian, but far less strict.
On that pasta issue, I seem to recall that the incidence of heart disease is much lower in Italy than in northern countries like Sweden, Norway etc., apparently even amoung overweight Italians. They do have olive oil and red wine and a large fruit intake (don't know if it's berries). The French have a lower incidence also as I recall. Garçon ! Encore du vin rouge s'il vous plait. :0)
As you say we all can check the evidence and must make our own decisions. regards Kastel
