(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
Lard was widely used as a butter substitute during World War II when butter was unavailable. As a waste product of pork production, lard has historically been cheaper than vegetable oils and thus featured prominently in poor people's diet until the industrial revolution made vegetable oils more affordable.
