Why would a fitness app that supposed to help me lose weight show an ad for deep fried Twinkies below where I input my food?? Seems a bad choice don't you think?

    The advertisements're based on your search results. Since you're using a website that involves counting food calories, you'll receive advertisements concerning food! If you search for a house, you'll receive home owners insurance advertisements, etc.

    I get dating ads and 'enlarge your manhood' emails. I don't belong to any dating service and don't have a 'manhood' to begin with, forget 'enlarge'. I wonder what are they suggesting

    1st does anyone else, use the device you're using? If so, possibly they're?

    2nd a lot of topics're discussed on this website, that have nothing to do; with fitness/nutrition. So that could be the issue, as well!

    It puts the hot dog in the twinkie, or it gets the hose again.

    Well, it started before the MFP. Someone suggested that ads' content is related to one's browsing history. I almost never see anything even remotely related, e.g. breast pix (
