Alas, that is correct.  The stuff in the stores has been hydrogenated so it 
will not rancify.  When we participated in the community pig killing, many of 
the people did not want that wonderful 'leaf lard' and gave it to us.  We 
rendered it, canned and froze it.  I haven't had anything made from 
shortening in 
years.  Kill you, that stuff.   </HTML>
