I challenge the w3 to w6 ratio in today's grain fed
beef in Todd's post, the ratio is more like 1:11 of w6
to w3. In the Nicholson interview he states:

Other differences between these two meat sources are
that significant amounts of EPA (an omega-3 fatty acid
thought to
perhaps help prevent atherosclerosis) are found in
wild game (approx. 4% of total fat), while domestic
beef for example
contains almost none.[147] This is important because
the higher levels of EPA and other omega-3 fatty acids
in wild game
help promote a low overall dietary ratio of omega-6
vs. omega-3 fatty acids for hunter-gatherers--ranging
from 1:1 to
4:1--compared to the high 11:1 ratio observed in
Western nations. Since omega-6 fatty acids may have a
cancer-
promoting effect, some investigators are recommending
lower ratios of omega-6 to omega-3 in the diet which
would,
coincidentally, be much closer to the evolutionary
norm.[148]
