On a side note - in terms of fats... avoid ANYTHING that says "saturated" or "hydrogenated" - that means they chemically added hydrogen so your fat molecules have straight tails - which means they pack tightly and are bad for your arteries etc. Unsaturated means they have kinks in the tails and thus do not pack so tightly, and thus are better for you and even useful to your body.
As for lard... I have NO idea. The word itself is pretty unappealing.
