guilt-free
Without moral weight
Guilt-free describes something done or enjoyed without feelings of remorse or self-reproach.
Often applied to indulgences that might otherwise prompt guilt: guilt-free dessert, a guilt-free day off.
The term frequently appears in marketing for foods positioned as healthier alternatives, letting consumers indulge without the usual pangs of conscience.
