Your deli person is wrong. The omega 3 fatty acids are found in all parts of the fish, especially in the flesh of the meat. That is actually only true if the fish is wild and NOT farm raised. Like the cows that are being fed grain, the farmed fish are being fed feed that the fish do not normally eat in the wild. This has caused them to be severely deficient in omega 3 fatty acids and high in omega 6 fatty acids. The same problem that has happened to cows eating in feed lots.

This makes the fish unhealthy and that is why they feed them so much antibiotics. The way you can tell if a fish is farm fed or wild is to look at their fat. The farm fed fish have many streaks of fat running in the meat; whereas the wild fish have very little fat in the meat, just like grain fed cows that are very unhealthy for the same reason.

It’s much cheaper to have farm raised fish and grain fed cows and they get fatter faster. It’s just another way the food industry has corrupted our food supplies and just another reason Americans are head to head with being the sickest nation in the world.

I would hope some of the other countries in the world will start sending missionaries to the U.S. to show people how to have good food. The U.S. now ranks 45th in longevity. That means 44 countries in the world have people living longer than Americans do.

good luck to you
