    I'll just chime in here again and say that from what I've read, properly
    fed (i.e. paleo) and exercised animals ranging from cows to wild game
    all have similarly excellent amounts and ratios of Omega 3. Fish are not
    magical, and in fact the proteins, fats, and other substances in them
    are really as close (and therefore as usuable directly in some cases) to
    the human ones. Something like a pig is much closer.
