An amoebae will "choose" food over poison.
A monkey will also "choose" food over poison.
Their choice is predictable to a very large degree. Can you really call it a choice?
Predictably consistent action is not choice.
But a human being can (and has done so) choose poison over food.
If that's not free will, I don't know what is.
