I think the main problem with the article is that its modest scientific content about the benefits of DHA is buried in a pile of overblown conclusions, assertions that consuming meat products is essential to good mental health, and innuendo that vegetable oils are unhealthy, none of which claims are adequately supported here.

Questions that might clarify the facts surrounding these claims are left conspicuously unanswered and unasked. Likely because the purpose of the article is not to to present the available evidence and carefully draw conclusions, but to support a diet based on animal fats by cherry picking from the science where convenient.
