'Animals can't make omega-3'? I guess no one told the salmon or Australian silver perch and jade perch (six times the O-3 of salmon) this, or the many land animals who have it in significant amounts in their fat- but do not eat any vegetation.


Food chain, Bear. If they do not consume any vegetation in their diets, they most certainly consume critters who do or critters that eat critters that do but more often than not, Omega 3 enters the food chain in the form of vegetation.
It's well-established that what an animal eats most certainly affects the ratio of omega 3 and omega 6 fats their body fat contains. If you know of research that shows otherwise, please post it.
