I am very disappointed to see a Dominoes Pizza ad pop up on this site. Shouldn't all the ads on here be healthy? Some of us who struggle with addictions to that kind of food can be greatly affected and influenced by such ads. I know I am. :-(

    Ads are related your cache, and not controlled by MFP. For example, was looking up information on banks and right now have a USAA ad starring me in the face.

    That said.....there is nothing wrong with Dominoes pizza, one slice of pepperoni pizza is only like 250 calories. Paired with a nice salad and some fruit for dessert turns into something even a person on a 1200 diet can do.

    Now I want pizza. I agree there's nothing wrong with pizza if it fits in your diet.

    Ads are based on your browsing history so maybe stop looking up fast food online?

    As PP stated, the ads you see are based on your browsing (or anyone else using that computer). If you don't like ads, use ad-blocking software.:flowerforyou:

    ETA: And I eat Domino's at least twice a month. Yummy! Plan it, log it, fit it in your calorie goals and macros. It can be done "healthily."

    (Yes, I'm being snarky. AdBlock Pro is your friend.)

    Click on the ad & go to the nutrition section and find out how many calories & grams of fat are in your 'usual' meal...then find out how much exercise it will take to get rid of the calories. Next, do the exercise to get rid of the calories, then order your pizza. It will be an eye-opening experience, I guarantee.

    Remember...exercise first, pizza after.

    It's an ad for pizza not cocaine.

    You'll see ads everywhere. YOU have to learn how to deal with it. People can't change their advertising to suit you. Where would we stop? The vegetarians won't want ads for anything with meat, the low-carb people won't want to see anything with starch in it, the gluten-free people won't want anything with barley, rye, oat or wheat.

    OP unless you are planning on going through life with your eyes closed avoiding, TV commercials, billboards, leaflets, radio ads, and fast food franchises in the street. I guess you are just going to have to deal with it. Sorry :flowerforyou:

    Try using Firefox browser and an extension called "self-destructing cookies". Works wonders.

    Because spooning leads to forking?

    I keep getting ads for this organic farmer's market I looked up ads for the other day. Damn MFP forcing their clean eating nonsense on me.

    I am drooling.

    YOU. ARE. EVIL.

    But in reply to the OP, most ads these days are tailored to your cache. It's most likely because you've ordered pizza online or looked up pizza/pizza recipes on Google. I never get Dominos ads.

    But I love pizza. :drinker:

    I didn't realize the ad gig until just a few months ago (different site than here though). I was like, "Omfg, how do they know I write Pysanky?!" I had to scour the house for a camera to make sure "they" weren't watching. :laugh:

    I have firefox and an ad blocker extension. I don't see any ads at all.

    But The Tick would be very disappointed if there weren't spoon ads!

    Any ads you get are related to your cache and any websites/search terms you frequently put in (any confessions you have to make?) I never see dominoes ads, but I see ads for Fiat cars constantly, because---guess what? I have a fiat, and I am always looking up maintenance info.
