So here is the email I sent and the response I got back from fatsecret when I asked about the Red Robin ads. In fact, there is one on my page right now asking "Who makes the most craveable burgers?". Anyway, here it is:
Hi, this message is regarding the Red Robin ads that I keep seeing pop up on the pages that I visit. I understand that the site needs to generate revenue, but in my opinion it is ethically wrong to display tempting food ads to a group of people who are struggling with body image, weight, and possibly self-esteem. The ads for Red Robin are not even showing healthy items but instead concern "craveable hamburgers." I am asking that you request that the sponsor advertise their healthy items (if they even have any). Otherwise, I do not see how a weight-loss website can morally continue to have Red Robin as a sponsor. Thank you.
