Beschreibung
Like our ancestors, many of us still like it to eat a soft-boiled egg for breakfast.
But unlike 100 years ago, many people and technology must work together to enable and maintain the trade in eggs.
Everything is easy for the consumer: fresh eggs are always found in the supermarket. But how many things have to function, so that we really find punctually our eggs when shopping!
Almost all our products are embedded in countless dependencies. The breakfast egg is only an example of a profound change, which we do often barely perceive consciously.
This little book is an excerpt from the German book "Geschenk Lebenssinn".
