    My mother preferred rendered pork fat, usually found at supermarkets where they cut their own meat, over commercial lard.=

    Wait for the end of the pitch. You may no longer be surprised.

    To quote what appears to be an honest food encyclopedia (on nutritional value, they give a lot of definitions, explanation and history prior to this):

    “Both butter and lard are high in saturated fat, which most experts agree should be consumed in moderation alongside a range of unsaturated, plant-based fats. A tablespoon of butter is about 100 calories, and represents about 36 percent of the current recommended guidelines for saturated fat intake. Butter, especially grassfed, is high in Vitamins A and E. A tablespoon of lard, in comparison, is about 115 calories, but is only about 25 percent of your daily saturated fat intake. Lard is also lower in cholesterol than butter, but doesn’t contain Vitamins A and E.”

    Grandma always used lard in her pie crusts. They were great.

    That sounds pretty unhealthy.

    Once, at a living history ranch in Boulder, Colorado, I got to sample an apple cobbler made with lard. It was absolutely the best Apple cobbler I ever had.

    What about “I can’t believe you had a heart attack at such an early age.”

    Google: lard heart attack

    Most people simply refer to that last one as "Crisco’.

    Fact of the matter is that lard is a really delicious frying and flavoring medium.

    People say that about certain politicians all the time.

    The only thing lard is good for is making flaky piecrusts!
