Based on my knowledge, many of the above are true. Especially the following two,

& J) ]& E& j' x  O+ \2 O2) Fish has omega-3 fatty acids, and are known to be beneficial to us in various ways. The problem is that our body does not make omega-3 fatty acids, and we need to consume it from fish." L$ m* Q1 u) i4 w% b* E" ]9 `& m
* Q) B9 H: `- C) n1 T/ S
Many research had been done on omega-3 fatty acids. In Canada, biotechnology enabled scientists to incorporate omega-3 fatty acids in eggs. It is currently being sold at supermarkets here. As a result, consumers can obtain it from a non-fish source. More new products with omega-3 fatty acids are expected in the near future.
