The diet in the developed world has skewed the intake of Omega 6--the inflammatory fat--in proportion to Omega 3--the un-inflammatory fat--from a natural 1:1 to as high as 20:1! This is why one sees so much supplementation here; because Omega 3 costs more, it has been depleted from the food supply.
