__Discussion Questions:__

 * 1) Tell me what you think cow's favorite cookie is, explain why.
 * 2) Choose another animal on the farm. If they could get something new to eat what do you think it would be and why?
 * 3) Describe what you would eat if you could have whatever you wanted. Is that a healthy choice, why or why not?

__Classroom Activity:__
This activity is intended for primary elementary students working on graphing skills.
 * In math, after graphing and probability lesson (probably tally and tally charts), survey the class and decide what your favorite cookie is. Additionally survey about the drink you like most with said cookie. Chart and graph data. Enjoy top cookie and beverage together!


 * as an additional note, on Karma Wilson's blog, she had a cookie recipe contest, so if you wanted to get volunteers, you could have parents make those cookies and vote on them.
