Public health vs freedom of choice #nutrition

I believe in public health interventions, and making changes on the systems level to keep the public safe. However, I also understand why people are distrustful of government mandated measures, because of the many examples in our history where the government has either hidden their true agendas, or has mandated measures that turned out to be more harmful than helpful.

Mandates take away an element of our freedom of choice, which for some is deeply unsettling.

Where is your line between public policy mandates and personal freedom?
