FYI, "free-range," "cage free," and "grass fed" don't actually mean anything. They can still be horribly abused in overcrowded barns. Look for "certified humane," the leaping bunny symbol, or other symbols protected by humane organizations.

Edit: in the US. Thanks for the clarifications

Those terms have meaning the the FDA, they just don't mean what most people think. Free range means no cages and access to outdoor area, usage or grazing isn't required. Cage free, similarly just means no cages in the shelter, the chickens are still 100% indoors. Grass fed is no longer controlled.

  • depending on your jurisdiction (e.g. free range does mean something in Australia).

That's a US thing, it's just fine in the EU

I think free range is a protected term in some jurisdictions.

American once again assuming the whole world is like America

Steam and Epic are based in America, and I interpreted it in that context, as mentioning those warnings as a rebuttal to an American seems like it would be worth clarifying! I corrected my comment for clarity, but the chip on your shoulder is showing.

Fair, but both services are used worldwide...

A good point. I edited my comment for future clarity.
