Public health officials banning certain foods

    Should public health officials ban certain foods, or should the decision whether or not to eat those foods be left to the consumer? Why or why not? (note: this question should take up majority of your response) Salt, sugar and a host of other foods are also unhealthy; some people felt the department randomly deci​‌‍‍‍‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‌‌‍​ded to focus on trans fat. Why do you think the department decided to restrict the use of trans fats as opposed to other ingredients? What elements make a public health campaign successful? How much does the science matter in a public health campaign?
