Just thought it was quite funny that myfitnesspal a website dedicated to people trying to lose weight has accepted advertisement from just-eat a massive online takeaway store. Kinda funny eh?

    Just FYI mfp has no control over the ads, they are based on your search history.

    Not just your search history. It can also be from something you've looked at. I can be reading through a thread on MFP on a certain topic, and I will start seeing ads from something mentioned in it.

    Am I going to start seeing ads for breastfeeding?

    You can eat food and lose weight or maintain. Plus there's lots on here who are bulking.

    I'm surprised that so many people don't know how internet advertising works...
