Bacon, Eggs, Toast: As Many Omega 3´s As A Piece Of Salmon?

More "healthy" food confusion.
"Many of the foods we eat every day, including eggs and bacon, used to be full of these essential nutrients -- when the animals they came from were eating grass, insects, and other green foods. Omega-3s originate in the green leaves of plants (not fish, as many people believe), and they accumulate in animals that eat those leaves, including fish.

Now that our livestock eat mostly seeds and grains, our foods are full of a second family of polyunsaturated fats, omega-6s which are much more prevalent in those parts of plants. This second family of polyunsaturated fats is also essential for health, but it competes with omega-3s for positions in cell membranes and affects cells in different ways."
Seems like a great way to drive yourself insane and sick is trying to keep up with the suggestions du jour for "healthy" eating.

Try doing something stable.

BTW, have not read the book this press release is promoting. I suspect it is a piece of trash, but do not know for sure.
