I'm referring to the following quote from the Omega PLan Website:

A plant-based form of omega-3 fatty acids (alpha-linolenic or ALA) is found in walnuts, Brazil nuts,
flaxseeds, flaxseed oil, canola oil, and dark green leafy vegetables.
(Olive oil, although not high in omega-3 fatty acids
itself, increases the omega-3 fatty acid content of your cells.)

Maybe ratio values higher than the historical possible were
more ideal for health (like for vitamin-c, vitamin-b1 and others too).

Then we could decide to increase it by historical unpaleo but
propably healthy alternatives like
sardines or flex seed oil , i think.
