The standard American diet is woefully lacking in Omega-3s. Our heavy consumption of grain, eating grain-fed meat (pastured livestock and wild game has significantly higher levels of Omega-3), and lack of fish & seafood in our diet are all contributing factors to our lack of Omega-3s. The ideal ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is 1:1 or 1:2, but the average ratio Americans have is between 1:10 to 1:30. Way out of whack, even on the low end!
Some of the benefits of fish oil and proper Omega ratios:
- increase HDL
- lower triglycerides
- reduce risk of heart attack
- reduce risk for some forms of cancer
- reduce risk for some autoimmune diseases
- reduce risk for developing diabetes
- anti-inflammatory
- helps with weight regulation
- helps fight depression
- cell protection and anti-aging
- brain development in babies
The brand of fish oil Chris and I take is "Nordic Naturals". And you can get a free sample!

Hi Abby! I came across your blog and stopped by to visit. Well written post on food, animals and PETA. Well thought out and clearly presented. Thank you. If you stop by my food blog you will see I eat and enjoy meat. I have always been bothered by the militant attitude of some groups. You have captured that well. Thanks.
