Can vegetarians eat lard as a substitute for butter and margarine?

Lard is rendered pig fat, so it's not vegan.

Most margarines contain trace amounts of dairy products such as whey or lactose. However, there are a few brands that don't, including Earth Balance, Blue Bonnet Light Margarine, and Smart Balance Light Margarine. If you want to be sure that the margarine you're using is 100% vegan, you may want to use a product that is specifically marketed as a vegan non-dairy spread. If you're checking labels looking for a vegan margarine, be sure to look out for whey, lactose, casein and caseinate, which are dairy derivatives frequently used in margarines.

All stores tend to carry these products.

Vegans do not eat any bi-product of animals, lard is an animal product, its the fat from the abdomen of a pig... Therefore, no they do not. Also lard isn't an everyday substitute for butter/margarine because its very full on...You wouldn't want to spread it on your toast.

You can if you want to. No one can stop you what you want to put into your mouth. I like to stir fry vegetables with lard, somewhat cooking with lard, the food seems tastier
