You're correct about the fish oil; I went and checked my sources as  
well, and molecular distillation seems to be the norm. So that leaves  
me no leg to stand on as far as production. I still have a gut  
reaction that eating a fish is more natural than eating a bunch of  
seeds of a particular kind, and that the Omega 3 in the fish is more  
accessible and requires less conversion. Since I fancy us as  
preferential carnivores with omnivorous dentition and enzymes, I'd  
rather reach for the fish, too.

Very poor science, but it's OK with me.
