It's a pretty healthy debate for the most part.
As a vegan that is also a macrobiotic practitioner I have to agree that we shouldn't need any supplements such as Omega fish oil supplements.
I think people reach out to supplements more times than not simply because they're too lazy to do their homework.
While Clinton doesn't seem to be 100% vegan he sure does seem to be on his way.
I'm never impressed reading about different celebrities that have gone vegan but when people such as Clinton goes that route it says a lot to me b/c Clinton is by far more than just a celebrity. He has a brilliant mind and is an amazing humanitarian.
Concerning the Omega 3's and fish oil myths, Gary Yourof"sky says it well.
"Claims about omega fatty acids being found solely in fish are absolute lies. Some fish have omegas because they've eaten algae/seaweed or consumed other fish who have already eaten algae/seaweed. Every vitamin, mineral and nutrient comes from the earth in the form of fruits, vegetables (sea or land), nuts, seeds, grains and legumes. Animal products only contain trace amounts of vitamins, minerals and nutrients because animals eat plants (sea or land). Meat is, at best, a secondary source of essential elements.
Açaí (fruit), beans, black currant seed oil, blue-green algae, borage seed oil, cabbage, canola oil, flax (oil/seeds), chlorella, corn, green vegetables (leafy), hemp (oil/seed/powder/milk), pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, soy, sprouts (all), squash, vegetable oils, walnuts and wheat all contain omega fatty acids WITHOUT cholesterol, WITHOUT enormous amounts of saturated fat, WITHOUT trans-fatty acids, WITHOUT animal protein and, most importantly, WITHOUT cruelty!"
