They still exist. Eat locally from farmers. All my beef is grass fed (which have higher omega 3's), for example.

And if you can't because of where you live, there's a good chance neither could your grandparents had if they lived there as well.

Or you could take an omega-3 supplement and eat normal beef. There isn't much evidence to show that grass-fed beef has any measurable effect on health.

[cabinguy]

There isn't much evidence to show that supplements do either.

[deeth_starr_v]

Agreed, research here is that supplements don't have an impact.

Edit: For pregnant women and others for sure. But in the general population no

[iopq]

Well, fish oil does have SOME evidence behind it.

[lambdadmitry]

However, there is strong evidence that any type of beef may cause cancer.

[metamet]

I am pretty sure this isn't true.

The advanced glycation end products from overcooked/burnt meat have been shown to, but not meat itself.

Better to eat how your great grandparents would have eaten if they lived somewhere notorious for long, healthy lives.

People do mention that in relation to Soylent, encouragingly (whether it's altogether right or not). Historical perspective is very important.
