I like your method. Would you look at www.iq-lab.com and see whether we can 
do something with the products listed? We do have a wonderful sprout product 
rich in  non-animal Omega-3s. It is intended to help bring the Omega6/omega3 
balance ratio to the way it would be without all the junk trans fatty acids 
eaten in fast food, pre-prepared foods etc.
