Can you still make healthy choices?

On January 17, 2023, we spoke with three experts about freedom of choice and health. This was the third public dialogue in the series New Perspectives on Illness and Health.

Healthy Choices

People are free to make their own choices about their health. What you eat, what you drink, how much you exercise - how you live is up to you. However, even if you decide what you eat, you’re still influenced from all sides in making your choices, aren’t you? And if that’s the case, what does the government do against (or for) this? We discussed these questions with the public and a panel of experts.
