When your writing a post on being healthy and clean eating, and then you look and see a side ad for pizza.
Im just like:

    No, just how I find it ironic that junk food ads are often on MFP.
    And second, clean eating is eating all good nutritous foods

    You know the ads are linked to your browsing history right? If you been on pizza company websites you will get their ads. Presumably if you look up a lot of porn you'll get their ads as well but I wouldn't know :laugh:

    You had not noticed those ads in other places?
    And, clean-eating is just an open-ended term.
    Many people think their diet is good/clean. And have very different diets one from another.

    The labeling of food as clean/dirty sucks. That is all.

    I think clean eating is eating food as close to its natural state as possible. I've tried the Clean program by Dr. Alejandro Junger. It felt pretty nice, but definitely not a way I could eat for ever, not with my lifestyle.

    Pizza is nutritious. And good.

    Your browsing history dictates the adverts, not MFP. Evidently you look at pizza.

    I was really confused, wondering what ads the OP was talking about. Then I realized I have an adblocker so I don't see any ads. Now I know why there's a big white space to the right of my screen.

    Your browsing history dictates the adverts...

    That isn't completely true. A large portion of the time, the ads relate to topic being discussed. Other times they are for completely random things.

    There's no "like" button, which means my lazy *kitten* has to type compliments:laugh:

    Can't "multi-select" on computer, but you can on your phone. :grumble:
    Can't read the Community Forums on your phone, but you can on your computer. :grumble:
    No history (other than the graph) of how much weight you lost within certain dates. :grumble:
    When making comments, the curser doesn't automatically go in the box. (Just being my lazy self..I want the curser in the box as soon as I click "Comment"..) :grumble:

    I was getting Planned Parenthood ads for a while because I had the word "harlot" in my quote on my profile. MFP has my back.


    ETA: Adblock is awesome.

    I get a lot of ads for the Spartan races (probably cause I've been looking into doing one). The ads are a good reminder.

    Of course now that I'm typing this there's an ad for kitkats :laugh:

    I get all kind of ads that have NOTHING to do with my search history. For instance, right now I have 1 ad about shopping for cars, and one that I think is about travel. I haven't done any searches on either of those things for many months. I get ads about schools and student loans, which I haven't searched for EVER, and ads for McDonald's and various fast foods, which I have also never searched. So...yeah, not so much.

    If I remember right you can go to weigh in and then click on "edit previous entries" and it will show a list of your past weigh-ins.
