62study -

I guess I should rephrase - do you just want my opinion, as a
professional marketer?  Or do you want something else?

thanks,

I know there's a flaw in that Google hasn't crawled enough pages, but
by looking at how many links were returned when the following was searched for:
marketing "producer's needs" 
36 links

marketing "consumer's needs"
182 links

it seems like, 
"Marketers study consumer behavior in order to meet the needs and 
wants that already exist"
