Lard is made out of rendered pigparts.

Crisco is made out of vegetables.

Lard is clearly superior, but needs a better press agent.

As far as I'm aware it's not often used in baking, unless the result is a savory.

If you're using your Crisco for fisting, I strongly suggest reserving a separate container for that purpose and never accidentally leaving it in the kitchen. Never.
