I forgot to mention that my posted article does, in fact, give many  
specific examples of real manufacturing, building cranes and such. I  
do not recall that it referenced what we formerly called something  
else, like even some parts of food processing, for instance. Perhaps  
making sausage is now manufacturing food. Considering the ingredients  
in breakfast cereal and many canned goods, naming the process  
manufacturing is valid.
