As for lard, it is far healthier than butter. More so, there is substantial research that says not only are saturated fats GOOD for you but artifical fats like Crisco are in fact what is causing our national epidemics of heart disease, cancer et cetera. Do a search for "Dr. Mary Enig" and educate yourself. I make my own pork lard, eat it as I want along with butter, coconut oil, palm oil, full fat milk and eggs from range chickens. I'm 55 and my cholesterol count is 136.</p> A wild pig may indeed be scavenger, but the pig raise for the table is not. As for lard, it is far healthier than butter.

There are many hundreds of thousands of people worldwide other than Jews who do NOT eat pork products, because of the fact that pigs are scavenger animals, as opposed to other, cleaner animals such as cows. Many of us would not eat anything cooked in lard, and we are not vegetarian, or worried about Kosher concerns.</p> I would rather see Crisco used than lard, but olive oil or another natural vegetable oil over both.
