Damnit, stupid paleo guys.

Looks like I might be buying some of this crap too. I read the ingredient list of my fish oil caps yesterday. Actually said "craaaaaap" when I read Soya Oil on the list.
Do now what others don't,
So later on you will have what others won't.

What about chia seeds? 15g of seeds = 3g (not mg) of omega 3. Made a big difference to me, not expensive either, and I'd rather eat seeds than pills any day. Really feel better for it :-)

chia seeds contain the incorrect type of omega 3. You need EPA/DHA and not ALA. The body converts barely 5% of ALA into EPA/DHA so you are effectively getting nothing out of chia seeds except for the negative reactions one has to grain.
