Nearly everyone on this planet eats like 30 times more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3 fatty acids. A high percentage of the population in rich countries is obese, true. But if Omega-6 really slows down metabolism in any significant way, that percentage should be nearly 100%, instead of like 30% which it is now (not sure, but should be around that I believe) .
If one does not consume any food that contains omega-6 fatty acids, one will lose weight.
