    Don't know how true this is (I've never had anything but healthy ads) but I've heard it's based off your searchings/cookies.

    my current ad is for Travel LOL

    Think of it as a character building ad....you can see it and eventually not want it lol

    But licking the screen doesn't have any calories, right?! Otherwise I may have to figure out how to log that. (I'm teasing! My browser doesn't show me any ads so I never see them.)

    Yup, I noticed this too.

    I get ads for cupcakes, Domino's pizza and weight loss surgery.

    NOT what I want to see at all, thank you very much :angry:

    To me, the most amusing (and weird) ad is the one for the bargain stomach banding. Only $400!

    I was shocked to see a Papa Johns add. Really? Guess they do not care who advertises just so they receive the payment. Of course, since the site is free, I will just ignore the ads. :)

    Yep -- MFP does not control the content that appears. It's syndicated based on cookies on your computer and content you access.

    But... best of all... IT KEEPS IT FREE! Whoo hoo!
