    Ads are dispalyed related to the content of the page, they are not 'hand picked', so the system sees you are on a page about food and displays an ad about food.

    You can always install an ad blocker if they offend you.

    I have never seen a single ad on MFP...not that I'm complaining, but what's up with that?

    I get ads for children's sugar cereals and M&M Kudos bars. And exercise DVDs and equipment. What a dichotomy.

    That's the world we live in, though. For me, one the biggest battles is living in a house with others who don't share my fitness goals so I have the cinnamon rolls on the kitchen counter as we speak. Temptation will never go away and, so, our need to be stronger than that temptation must endure as well. ( And, yes, I broke and ate one of the cinnamon rolls last night after I was depressed over UGA's loss to SC. ...about to go for a run, now. )

    I believe it does pull from the cookies on your computer. I was checking out Blendtec blenders last week, and I have now had a TON of ads for those. The rest are mostly weight loss related ads for various products.

    I just got one for Smirnoff vodka. That doesn't make sense to me! I barely drink.

    My problem too,...live with a great guy who LOVES his snacks,.....we compromise by always trying to buy snack that only he loves,..and never my favorites. Got to admit, sometimes I'm still tempted.

    it pulls from the cookies. This a.m. it pulled up kayaks on mine, I had just left google looking for that.

    and if I haven't searched for anything it pulls up diet stuff.
