I believe I did address the question of the fish. What do they eat and in turn what do their prey eat? Also, why can't Omega 3 be passed up the food chain? Please note where DDT and mercury are stored....body fat.
This is quite easy to show. Chickens who are fed flax meal have higher levels of omega 3 in their eggs. Humans who eat those eggs will likewise have higher levels of omega 3 in their bodies.
