Thing is, lard (and butter, for that matter) are, by and large, not any worse for you (in moderation) than the synthetic alternatives, like margarine and shortening (which have their own problems).

My mother’s mother, a Depression-era grandmother, kept a can of bacon grease on the stove. Whenever she would cook bacon, the grease went in the can. Whenever she cooked anything else… bacon grease went into it.
