The ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 fats is said to be 4 to 1. The modern american diet is on average said to be 20 to 1 Omega 6 to Omega 3 and many are up to 50 to 1. Much of this ratio change is caused by food farming and processing.
Omega 6 fats are good fats but they are the stickier fats and need Omega 3 to keep from sticking to arterial walls. Omega 6 fats come from seeds, nuts, corn, sunflower oil, and canola oil.
Cereals and breads are new to the human diet for the history of man and increase the Omega 6. Also our meat sources are often fed a grain diet increasing the Omega 6 to 3 ratio form what wild animals would have had.
As a result getting sufficient Omega 3 to balance the Omega 6 is crucial to our diet. Also eating less carbs and more fish, fruits and vegtables is a good way to create a better balance and healthier lifestyle. Prehistoric people had to be fit to live and grass fed meats, vegitation and fruits were the main staples of their diet.
