I do use lard occasionally - it's widely available here. It's especially good for pie crust and biscuits. I think I'll start using it more often!

Interesting. So many things have been thought to be bad for us and so manufacturers made a 'better replacement item which is later found out to be even worse for us.
Coffee, eggs & potatoes were all reported as bad. Now they've come around on coffee and eggs. I haven't heard anything about potatoes, but they were known to cause cancer in lab rats if the rats lived on a diet of 100% potatoes. Who would do that in real life? :eek:
I do think the moral of all this is eat what you want but do it in moderation. Moderation is the key.

Conversations like this always remind me of Woody Allen's The Sleeper - when he wakes up 200 years in the future, they ply him with cigarettes and chocolate cake, telling him 'it's good for you'...:ohmy:
