It's certainly more cannibalistic. "Do you want fries with that?"
(seems like "make" is a better choice..)
On the other hand, "proreactive" in bowling would be a bowler who thinks
resin shells and gyroscopic core design are the best thing for the game
and likes the ABC System of Bowling just fine..
The motto of the Proreactionist would probably be something
like "Serve No Wine Before Its Time".
"Just In Time" manufacturing is probably the ultimate in making a
company look proreactive.
