You need both omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, though.
American's tend to be heavy on the Omega-6 stuff, which is good - as long as you get lots of Omega-3 stuff, too. If you have em out of whack, like we tend to, you get heart disease and die.
Which is bad.
So if you eat only grain-fed meats and lots of eggs and cereals and stuff you'll do okay body-building-wise (until you die at 47 from a massive coronary) or you can eat free-range stuff and fish (things with lots of Omega-3 to balance things out), too, and build up 30% faster...without the inconvienience of an early death.
