    I don`t know what or if any editorial control Mike has over ads.
    Google Adsense is often triggered by keystrokes so if you have made a post (s) that mention food,sweets,candy in any way it may trigger an ad supposedly targeting you.
    It doesn`t know any difference.

    It's an exercise in will power! Plus it keeps the site free. I'd rather have Big Candy pay for the site than me! :)

    Hey, they have to pay for the website somehow. It just means our willpower is getting stronger, if we can ignore them right...lol

    I always get the ad with the Banana and the tag line " 5 foods you should never eat". Has anyone clicked on that or know the story behind that? There's no way I'll believe bananas aren't good for you.

    There are always going to be temptations around so you may as well learn to deal with them. I personally don't even notice the ads on this site or any others for that matter. Also, it's the ads that make it possible for this site to be free for us! Anyhoo, best of luck to everyone on your weight loss and fitness goals!

    It doesn't matter if there are ads or not, all I care is just get in here and program my food schedule for the day and so far MFP is the best ever :-)
