Food getting more expensive
Fat On The Inside:
Peanut butter is one of my favorite foods overall, and it is probably my favorite food for gaining because I can eat multiple regular size jars a day. Mixing it with jelly is another classic calorie boost, of course. Adding butter, and oil to various things (I.e. vegetables, pasta, rice, etc.) also works well. I also like using lard whenever possible. I can pack it on very quickly when I want to 🙂

Not many use lard but it is fat in a jar. Can make any meal delicious. Lard butter shakes um yum!

There are a few reasons why. That said, I want to clarify something first.
If you are making your own lard (rendered pig fat), it has a number of health benefits. It's chock full of vitamins like Vitamin D, monounsaturated fats, omega-6 fatty acids, and a laundry list of other things. It's better for you than butter.

Most lard is hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated to make it more shelf-stable. This offsets any health benefits that you would otherwise get from it. Other chemicals may be added to it that make it even more unhealthy.

With that out of the way, let me give you some reasons why lard fell out of popularity - in no particular order.
1. Crisco made a successful ad campaign to market their vegetable shortening as healthier than lard.
2. General health concerns
3. It is neither kosher nor halal.
4. Many people see pork products as potentially dangerous.
5. Many people do not want to eat animal fat.
