It's worth noting that things like lard, chocolate, onions, etc, can be bad for dogs, but it's not strictly speaking a poison to them. It's more like an allergic reaction to certain things, and just like people some dogs suffer worse from it than others.
I've had more than one dog that was given lard to improve their coats, and they lived to a ripe old age. My mother's wretched little Shitzu is a genius at finding her chocolate stash, and that obnoxious thing is still alive. Basically, you don't need to ban poor old Fido from eating table scraps, just spoil them in moderation and watch for any adverse reaction.
