Advertising to the gullible. Which includes practically everyone who sees XXX-free on the label and thinks "That's gotta be better for me!". I am looking forward to fat-free soap.

Like seeing meat labelled 'Hormone Free'. All meat is Australia is hormone free. We don't do that shit here.

But it implies that all other brands have added hormones.

I think it's hormones, I could be wrong.
