Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Lard are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. Please refrain from doing this in the future. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. I'll answer your question on this page however. You asked:The most obvious alternative would be vegetable shortening, which I'm surprised there was no mention of in your cookery class. As mentioned in the Lard article, vegetable shortenings are often even a greater health risk than lard or butter, since most of them, like most margarines, contain trans fats. Crisco has come out with a new formulation that apparently contains no appreciable amount of trans fat, however, there are some concerns about the interesterified fats that they the new formulation contains.Quite simply, when it comes to baking shortenings, animal fats like, butter, lard, schmalz, tallow, etc, are the less-processed and more "natural" ingredient when compared with vegetable shortenings. Both animal and vegetable shortenings have health risks if they're a regular part of your diet, however, if they aren't, the risk from any of these ingredients is negligible. Lard probably has the best shortening qualities of these ingredients and butter probably has the best flavor, but if you're absolutely committed not to consuming animal products of any kind, vegetable shortening or hard margarine is a perfectly acceptable alternative.Hope this helps.
