I'd like to clarify something. Just because a fat is a 'healthy' fat, i.e. plant/fish based, it does not make it an EFA. An EFA is an Omega 3 or 6 fatty acid, with Omega 9 being conditionally essential assuming 3/6 requirements are met. If you source the majority of your fats from oily fish, nuts, and very little from meat/dairy, you will be in good hands.
