All of your posts seem to be missing massive points

You are more likely to find john west in john west tuna than you are omega 3 oils

EPA/DHA oil is why people supplement fish in their diets in the mian. Oily fish

So fish oils it is, not cod liver oil but EPA/DHA oil, salmon oil or krill

google it

Everyone should eat oily fish.
- it tastes great
- its very healthy
- it makes you feel great! literally!, oily fish is invigorating to the mind from the omega 3.

Its win win.
Agree to some extent although would say, everybody needs EPA/DHA

If you look at the actual fat content of most fish you will find its very low for example salmon you would be lucky to get more than 5 grams of fat in one meal hmmm or if we dont like the flavour of fish we could save the money buy some chicken/steak/bean burger and have 5 grams of fish oil tablets.
see my above

you need a total of 2.2g on average of DHA/EPA per day assuming your diet is not way over the otherside of the fayt spectrum (ie high in 6's and or damaged fats)

5g of fish oils is just short of that figure

I strongly believe people will benefit from mega dosing fish oils or medium dosing krill oil

krill is also a little easier on the digestive system for me yet a little harder on the wifes wallet, her shoes/handbags funds have taken a battering....sh1t happens
