A cruel advertisement...

This was the banner add in MFP.

It just seems cruel of MFP to allow fast food to advertise on their site.

I could perhaps understand if McD's was advertising their healthy meals. But as I understand it the McRib is totally calorific!

Normally in seeing an add i blame myself. i see banner adds follow me from other sites or my google searches. But i never go on fast food sites or do google searches. So why am I seeing a fast food advert? Temptation is hard enough and i am trying to eat healthier. Luckily i hate McDonald's "food" and it is not my archilles heal.

    I just saw an ad about Pilsbury cinnamon rolls saying "Anything goes this weekend". Really?? The food industry is designed to keep us fat and the fact that MFP is allowing these kinds of adds on this site is kind of appalling.

    I have no problem with ads but to have the kind that can trigger a binge for some folks is so counter productive and frankly, kind of cruel. I would ask MFP ad sales reps to keep that in mind when selling ad space and would ask MFP CEO to not allow that kind of advertising on this site. Keep the ads about cell phones, web sites and laundry soap,ect.. keep the junk food ads off.
