OMEGA 3: THE LITTLE FATTY ACID THAT COULD

Once upon a time there was a large cell community where two brothers lived. Omega 3 was the younger brother, and omega 6 was his older brother. The brothers were supposed to share all things equally, but sometimes omega 6 didn't play by the rules. He shouldn't have been hanging out in those meat markets with some of the worst free radicals around, but he didn't much care what was good for the community. That group only cared about what was right for them.

Those free radicals never seemed to have a partner and some said they must have been damaged somehow, because they went out looking for a mate, but they seemed to damage every cell they took up with, and after a while their partners acted just as bad as they did. Pretty soon there were a whole bunch of cells acting pretty badly, and refusing to do what was best for the group as a whole.

It seemed to little omega 3 that he was all alone. Nobody seemed to want him or his friends around anymore. They seemed to favor the omega 6 crowd, and things were getting pretty out of control. Even his friends, the cows, couldn't be counted on to eat fresh green grass any longer, but were instead being fed all that junk omega 6 was involved in. What was worse, Omega 6 was becoming something of a bully, and seemed to be taking over everything. It was hard for Omega 3 to even exist under these conditions, and it felt like a wound that would not heal.

Pretty soon all out war started between the two brothers, and the omega 6 crowd formed a bigger and bigger mob of out of control free radicals and damaged cells. Everywhere they went things got worse, but still they wanted more and more territory. They began to raid neighboring villages and take captives. What was Omega 3 to do? If he didn't get some troops soon, Omega 6 and the free radicals would take over the entire community, and everything would soon be destroyed.

Omega 3 knew he wasn't very big, but still he had some pretty big friends. He decided to call on some gang members of his own. First he brought some members of the cabbage family, broccoli, and cauliflower, into a private meeting to discuss what was happening to the community. Broccoli said he also had a few friends who might be able to help. He explained that some of them were considered fruits, but that they were not wimps and would not back down. He also knew some vegetables from some other families who had reputations as hard fighters, and even though some thought they were a little fishy, he knew some sea type fighters who could also bring in some troops for the Omega 3 group. Pretty soon Omega 3 had some fighting men of his own. Together they began to lay down a strategy of how to stop the mob that was taking control, and bring good health back to the cell community.

The mob had a lot of power, so the vegetable group realized that the only way to stop the destruction was to block the supply lines to the mob. The Omega 6 group was so disorganized and out of control, that they had not even considered that they could be stopped, and had not secured their supply lines. It did not take much power, or a whole lot of effort to stop the mob. All that was necessary was a healthy dinner that included a mixture of 28 different fruits and vegetables a week, with dark chocolate for desert. Some were prejudiced against dark chocolate, but he didn't care. He was willing to do whatever was necessary to save the community, and with all the good guys working together, they were able to do just that. The supply lines to the mob were stopped, and it dispersed into a harmless group of wimps who now had no power at all.

You can see Omega 3 now, standing proud and strong in organic gardens, in grass eating cows, and in eggs and dairy products bearing his name. He was drastically outnumbered, and in short supply, but there is strength in numbers, and along with the fruits, and vegetable groups, he became the little fatty acid that could. So don't think that all fats are bad; some are necessary for the health of the cell community.
