We can not do omelets without egs!

Economics article:
We can not do omelets without egs.




I remember who said: "we can not do omelets without egs".
With the current financial situation of the world and in particular in Portugal, the omelet case can be associated. We can not do omelets without egs. And to have egs we need chickens. And the chickens are not performing.
Conclusion, something is wrong.

The current financial situation in Portugal is not so good at all.
Today the chickens are not performing so well as before, the number of eggs are ridiculous and the already low number of omelets can not find who wants to eat them.

The presence of eggs is almost ridiculous and the chickens, or are moving for other regions, or starting to die with hungry.

Actually in Portugal the economy system has a huge number of chickens. Strange is not it?
However these chickens can not perform so well and the eggs are conditioned by the low request number of omelets...


As the chickens are less productive comparing with the past. Concerning the future something has to be changed.
How to solve this chicken problem is the question of the next decade.

Some farmers are discussing about providing special food for the chicken, to make them more productive. Sounds good. But if the meat of the chicken can be changed? If the meat can start to be dependent of this special food?

From the other side, some farmers are reflecting about the conditions of the chickens. For them, the farms are not providing the best environment to produce more.
Not so bad reflection. But if the neighbours has worst conditions, why chickens are performing so well there?

And then the last farmers, more than 60%, do not even wants to change. They think that everything is totally fine. The chicken's eggs are enough to survive and reflecting about it is not in the agenda. Until one day. The day of last chicken being killed to solve the farms starving situation.
Changing the farms mentality is the order of the President of farmers association. Probably is to late...

Portugal is not so far than this farmers picture. With this chicken problem, eggs are not enough.

Instead of discussing the problem, nobody talks about the innovation, the quality of these eggs.
As are not toxic, there is a very low risk of eating omelets and have some health problem as cancer.
How they could be valuable?
They are valuable, but nobody around the world knows about it...
