The idea of lard intrigues me. It makes things oh so wonderfully yummy (like biscuts) but I have the idea that it's absloutely terrible for you. However, I suscribe to The New Homemaker, and one of the latest articles was called Make Your Own Lard. In the article, it's said that lard is actually a rather good fat, since it's monounsaturated and if you get really good quality pork fat, it's from a very very good source (the animal it being from having been raised "properly").

So, does anyone have expierence with lard or know a little more about whether or not it'd stick the sides of my arteries shut? I'm interested in trying it because it seems like it'd be a tasty addition to things
