What is "Public Health"?

Without googling, what do you think it is?

I want to know what others think it is. I know what it is, that's why I'm majoring in it.

People always ask me (irl) what I'm going to school for and I tell them public health. Their response is usually " oh, so you want to inspect restaurants"? That is a part of public health (health inspector), but that is not all public health is.

Public Health can be lobbying on issues such as drinking, smoking and obesity. Educating people on making better informed life choices and even mounting political pressure to get governments to enforce policies that is to the betterment of it's citizens.
