I went to your link plus how about maing MM candies. Is that manufacturing? Toddster says it is included in our manufacturing statistics. We have a huge processed food industry such as making fish sticks and frozen pizzas. This is manufacturing?

Pray tell, what else would you call it?

Literally, manufacturing means "making stuff".

Frozen pizzas and structural steel use different raw materials and are sold to different markets. But both are manufacturing.

Is it made in a factory? Maybe you think they grow on trees? Or is there an M&M mine somewhere?

If it'll stop your crying, you can subtract those goods out of the total manufacturing numbers.
