I did this in a teen parenting class.  They were very thoughtful after I explained the symbolism and I believe most of them got the message.  They wanted the "homemade cookies"!!  Several of the girls were pregnant.  One started out at the beginning of class with "I'm going to give my baby formula" and left the class saying "Well, maybe I'll breastfeed for a week"...hey, that's all I ask....plant the seed....

Remember the neat idea someone gave of giving 1/2 of class homemade
chocolate chips and the other half of class store bought chocolate chips.
After they protested she explained it was like bf or giving baby formula!
I love that idea.  Sincerely, Pat in SNJ
