MFP and McDonald's??

tsh0ck

I'm still trying to figure out, after four pages, what the big deal is. they serve hundreds of food combinations. pick one that works for you or don't go there. because mcdonald's is fine to eat at, as long as you know what you are eating and it fits in your caloric intake for the day.

matter of fact, I think I'll go to burger king tonight.
(eek. I said burger king. maybe you'll get to see their ad now!)

Don't understand all the negativity on here. Why the need to attack me? I simply found it ironic, so I posted. Won't happen again.

Just to clarify (and speaking only for myself) - I certainly didn't mean to attack you in any way and hope my messages weren't read as such. I just wanted to point out that MFP isn't responsible for the ads and that they are tailored based on your internet activity. That certainly doesn't mean that they are all based on your past Google searches, but many of them are; the rest are the marketing geniuses taking their best guess at what you'd be interested in, as informed by your searches, which sites you visit. etc. And they do indeed get it wrong sometimes!

My apologies if my posts came across as attacks at all; these MFP boards can certainly be a rough place filled with many an angry villager!

yup. I went to the king. it was good. and I discovered the strawberry sundae is not only delicious, but easy on the calorie counter. I will still finish under my goal today. life is good.

Just saw an add for McDonald's on here.....seriously?? For a website that is here to help people live a healthier lifestyle, I can't believe they would be promoting Mc Donald's!! SMH

It's not the way it works, the ads here are based on cookies save on your computer, so that means you must of searched for something McDonalds related the ad choice sees the cookies from McDonalds and puts ads up based on them because they think you like it. I did a search for Beavis and Butthead a few days ago and i got beavis and butthead DVD ads!

(delete the cookies and the ads related McDonald's will go away)
