Fish aren't the only way to get omega-3s or high IQs
First off, for those who don't like fish, or who might happen to be vegetarian, seeds are a great source of omega fatty acids. Flax seeds and hemp seeds are particularly good. For example Trader Joe's sells a tasty "Omega Seed Bread" that's chock full of omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids, without any of the mercury, stink, or guilt associated with fish.
Second, as a recent story on NPR (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7406521) explained, IQ is not a fixed thing, and children who are taught that their intelligence can increase with work, find that they are able to improve their IQs. So, even if your mom never ate a fish or a seed, you could still become highly intelligent just by spending some of the time you would have spent with your PSP with a book instead.
