    Mine keeps advertising meal deals for burgers and fries too! Someone said it's based on your Google searches, as in Google ads, but I promise, I've never Googled a burger in my life...lol

    most likely the ads are from an ad service that chooses ads relating to the kind of site they are placed on. so you will probably see a lot of food related ads and diet ads... they don't know they're on a diet site :p

    I know I always search calories in foods, maybe that is why. Of course right now there is a mascara ad on my page, and I am not exactly a makeup type of girl. Im pretty sure my husband hasn't searched mascara. lol

    Because they're paying MFP to have it there? Someone's making money.

    Thing is, if I were going to be tempted to cheat - I wouldn't go driving out of my way to do it. I'd grab something evil that's already in the pantry or over-indulge in something that's not too bad in the fridge. I'm not going to waste gas AND sink my goals. X-D That's just stupid.

    From where I'm sitting I can see graham crackers, "cheese" cracker packs and peanut butter. On the other side of the kitchen is a couple bunches of bananas at around 100 cals a piece. I have kids.
