Not only vegs but Jews who eat kosher are not enamored of this Nabisco practice.
Triscuit, however, is lard-free, as are a (very) few other Nabisco products
like their Wheat Thins, sugar wafers, and peanut creme patties.  Blueberry
and Apple Newtons are also lard-free, but not the original Fig :-(.  Keebler
is a similar offender.  Supposedly the lard adds flavor, as well as often
being cheaper.  At least I have never met up with a potato chip fried in
lard--that would be TOO MUCH.
