You've gotten some great ideas from this group of wise women!

An outline I used with a college sociology class was 1.  Facts and
authoritative statements (this is the way things ought to be) 2.
Breastfeeding Statistics (this is the way they are) 3.  Why is there a
difference?  The last part was participative, of course.  I found that age
group very willing to believe that things were wrong with what is now the
norm; it is part of teenage rebellion we can use to advantage, I think.

I also clipped lots of ads for formula and other parenting substitutes
(swings, bouncers, video surveillance systems, teddy bear heart beats,
mechanical feeding arms, etc.) and discussed the risks of capitalism and free
markets (which are basically good things, IMO) to naturally healthy
behaviors.  Good luck!
