    My adds are normally for homes.com or bark box.

    It is probably because ads are based on your cookies, and you recently looked up a places nutritional content?

    I had a FitBit ad a moment ago, but have definitely seen fast food ads.

    Banner ads are a weird process- as a page loads, the site sends out a profile of what it knows about you (age range, sex, sites recently visited) and ad-serving sites bid for the space. The ad from the highest bidder gets placed there. (And now you know why pages sometimes take time to load.)

    Maybe because so many of the posts have to do with fast food (even when it's about avoiding it)?

    I've never had fast food ads. It's always FitBit and Yoga pants.
