Answer 1

ewww omg, they put lard in the pie crusts?! thats nasty! sorry, its not even vegitarian.

Answer 2

Same goes with any other packaged products including chocolates with mint flavour. They contain GELATIN which is a direct animal product. Toothpastes, soaps and many daily life products are also obtained from animals. Where will you draw the line?

If you're vegetarian, it's perfectly acceptable to shun meat as it's nothing but "dead carcass" which was deprived of a living soul inside. Being a new vegetarian, I'm not going to give up on eggs and dairy products such as milk, cheese etc. They are the "residue"of the animal concerned...not a direct flesh product. Similarly, I won't give up on leather as the leather industry mostly thrives on animals that have been already USED and just died.

Answer 3

Haha animal fat (lard) is never vegan!  You're right!  

There might be some pre-made, dry pie crusts at the store that will be vegan otherwise you can make a simple crust from this recipe: http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/recipes/...

Answer 4

You might find a graham cracker crust that doesn't have lard in it, but you might have to make your own.  The first poster shared a good link.  

Just a heads up that Jiffy Cornbread Mix has lard in it too!

Since it was brought up /\/\/\/\/\, you can get vegan soap and toothpaste at health food stores and usually farmer's market vendors.  :)

Answer 5

Lard is hardly vegetarian, let alone vegan. Yuck!
