He explains: “In industrialised farming where animals are fed grain, the composition of fats in their bodies changes, increasing the polyunsaturated omega 6 content, at a significant cost to our health. But grass fed animals produce meat, eggs and milk with a high omega 3 content and this is what we, as humans, need and thrive upon.�
