Unfortunately a total free approach can give nonsense results. A total free approach does not assume anything. So it will use the intercept as free variable as well. This is clearly nonsense, as it implies that a product has nutrients even if there are no ingredients. So we need to enforce an offset of zero.

As we thus limit the possibilities, the degrees of freedom go dwon. Does this mean that we can fit one ingredient less as well?
