Food ads all over this site

Anyone else noticed all the "all you can eat" and cupcake ads all over this site? It's like they are preying on us weak-willed dieters! Disappointing.

As I read your post I couldn't help notice the huge "Cor Blimey!" Groupon ad at the top of the page featuring three GIANT cheeseburgers!0

I put this as my status yesterday the amount of days i see those cup cakes and could just give it all up0

On my PC I cannot see any adverts, but can on my iPhone.
How odd.0 -
Somewhat off topic and maybe I just don't pay attention but I have yet to see a food add on here and I've been on everyday for over a month. I get a lot of diabetic meds (I'm diabetic) and local places advertised. More recently there has been an increase in the amount of HRM ads I'm seeing (probably due to my completing several searches about them recently).
The way I look at it though is that learning to change your lifestyle also means learning to deal with advertising. If I don't see it on here I'm going to see it on TV or that giant billboard, etc. Just do your best to ignore them and remember that you are stronger than that.0 -
Its the network that the site is using. The ads are food related because this is a food related website (diet & weightloss). The hosts of the site have no controll over the ads. You will also notice sometimes that the ads are relative to your location (we may see the same cupcakes, but the location for me is San Diego and for you may be some other major city).
Too bad, but just look at it as a test of your will power :-) You dont need that icky donut or cheeseburger! :-)0 -
I never noticed this until it was mentioned lol. I am not tempted, I think watching TV is so much worse for me. If I can stand a wendys nugget commercial...I can stand this.0

I read somewhere that you can set your browser to block the ads. Worth checking out if they bother you. I just think that it's how this website is free to me.0

Haha i saw that ad and was eyeing up the nice big juicy slice of tomato... mmm0

All the ads here are for weight loss scams like 'what foods to avoid' '1 tip to lose stomach fat' etc or diet plans, curves, special K plan, Nutrasystem. I just ignore them. :-)0

Part of the beauty of this site remaining free!
I'll trade seeing food adds for it remining free anyday.0 -
Now I get infertility clinic adds. That's progress..0
