Maybe, and maybe not. Some nuts have a high w6:w3 ratio; some
don't. The fat from grain-fed animals may also have an
unnaturally high w6:w3 ratio, according to Cordain (but not
according to USDA). Still, I would agree that just eliminating
the high w6 vegetable oils goes a long way toward correcting the
imbalance.
