Pfft! Some People

There's a shortage of lard. Everybody Panic!

I mean, really. Cancel Christmas. Hog fat is in such high demand that there's a European lard shortage. The Lard Mountain is dwindling. Ha!

    Supermarkets such as Morrisons have been forced to display signs on shelves apologising for the lack of lard. Somerfield said it had already been forced to limit the number of tubs of lard on sale at each of its stores. It is advising customers to check their local stores to see if another delivery has arrived.

Get a grip.

all of us ladies have photocopies of the headline 'lard crisis' on our computers at work

i wonder, if there is a shortage of lard, does that mean less little piggies are being slaughtered? or are the piggies not quite as fat as before?

poor wee piggies and poor wee turkeys - in fact leave all the animals alone this holiday season - LOVE ANIMALS DONT EAT THEM!!!

It's probably down to the growing influence of the Atkins diet.

Lard,
You can see it,
in the clouds up in the sky.
Lard,
Floats by in clusters
in our water supply.
Lard,
It's all of us, man,
In our pores and in our hair.
Lard,
What we conceal
with those corny clothes we wear.

When it comes to the subject of Lard, I think Jello said it best. My clothes are corny, I carry credit cards and I live in fear of art. Oh the shame.
