600 Akiki,Anthony, Consumer Goods

It seems to me that everyone is in need of Consumer Goods.  I think that Consumer goods are our essentials to living a healthy life, which is why it is a main industry to our economy.  For example, Dean Foods has been growning at a fast rate.  It is a leading U.S producer of milk and otehr dairy products.  Also, Emerald Dairy's also is having their share of growth as well by turning milk into milk powder for infants.  There are always babies being born which is why we are always in need of milk powder.  Therefore, all together, Consumer Goods is not an area that we need to improve economicly. We can safely rely on this industry to help grow our economy.
