More AAT "logic."
So, humans are the only animals that need Omega 3 fatty acids for brain
growth? Sea food is the only source for this material? What do other
animals use in place of Omega 3 fatty acids (e.g., elephants have very
large brains -- in absolute terms -- they must therefore eat a lot of
seafood).
