I certainly wouldn’t expect the “BRITISH LARD MARKETING BOARD” or the “LARD INFORMATION COUNCIL” to be marketing, let’s say, butter or olive oil ...

You’re posting paid propaganda, not objective information.

That’s OK ... just be aware of what you’re doing.

British Lard Marketing Board

The British Lard Marketing Board is a parody website that has gained attention for its humorous content and retro design. It was created in the late 1990s and is known for its satirical approach to promoting lard. The site includes various advertisements and slogans that poke fun at the idea of promoting lard as a dietary staple.

For example, one of the slogans on the site reads, “Lard gets a bad press - why, we don’t know. It’s nutritional properties are well documented and it’s not our fault that some people are too scared to eat it.” The site also features vintage-style advertisements, such as a 1957 ad showing a happy family with the caption “They’re happy because they eat lard.”

The British Lard Marketing Board website is often discussed on forums and blogs as an example of early internet parody and nostalgia for retro web design. It has been referenced in various online communities, including Reddit, where it has been shared and commented on by users interested in vintage advertising and British humor.

Despite its humorous nature, the website is not associated with any official government or industry organization. It is a privately maintained site that continues to entertain and amuse visitors with its unique take on promoting lard.

Lard Information Council

The Lard Information Council is a fictitious organization that has been referenced in various contexts, often as a humorous or satirical entity. It was never an actual government or industry body, but rather a creation used for parody and amusement. For instance, a poster with the slogan “They’re happy because they eat Lard” was attributed to the Lard Information Council, though it was actually a prank created by a member of an online forum.

...

In culinary contexts, lard has been defended as a healthier fat than butter, with lower saturated fat content and higher levels of mono-unsaturated fats, which can help in lowering LDL cholesterol and raising HDL cholesterol. This has led to a push for lard to regain its reputation in cooking and baking, particularly in the production of short pastry.

The fictitious Lard Information Council has been used to highlight the humorous aspects of food marketing and health propaganda, often in a nostalgic or retro style.
