    Vegetarians don’t eat lard. Similar to how they also don’t eat parmiagiano reggiano because it uses rennet.

      They won’t eat this one cheese because cows are killed, but they’ll eat all all the other cheeses cows are killed for. Similarly, I doubt they make any real effort to not eat lard.

        I don’t eat things made with lard. Some vegetarians eat cheese, but they likely aren’t picking and choosing based on morals. Those who abstain and vegans aren’t picking and choosing what to include either.

        Based on what? I don’t know any vegetarians who eat lard. I’m answering based on my knowledge of vegetarians. Why just randomly assert that vegetarians eat lard?

          I don’t expect vegetarians to be consistent in any way. If your entire ideology is “animals killed for meat: 😡animals killed for any other reason: 😊” I don’t deem you trustworthy when it comes to avoiding animal products.

            No one’s arguing about vegetarian consistency or whatever. People are just saying that, empirically, observably, vegetarians do not eat lard, because it is meat, or considered meat, whatever.
