Crisco is NOT lard!!!! It is an artificially-manipulated and completely unnatural vegetable seed oil, far worse even than the liquid vegetable oils. Why is it hydrogenated? To make it solid and lard-like in appearance, the better to deceive the unwary. It is a complete and total (and unhealthy) fake! Real lard comes from animals, not plants.

Try to find a local pig farmer to get real lard. Or a poultry farmer with ducks (or geese). Duck (or goose) fat is a very useful and healthful cooking medium Don't be fooled by manufactured, unhealthful "vegetable lard"!

I'll have to stop buying supplements with oil in. My vitamin d has safflower oil in. other oils in other products and I don't believe this is good for me, Always for decades stuck to the good oils fats that heal and stayed away from fats that kill.

Lard. No love for lard?

Of course not any lard. The product from Crisco you will find at the supermarket has been hydrogenated for some reason. I have to order it online from a farm clear across the country.

Recently I have been using it for stir fry, and once in a while I make french-fry potatoes with it.
