I don't know anyone who uses Crisco or Pam, and can't recall the last time I saw a can in someone's kitchen. The default cooking oil for many families is peanut, vegetable, or "olive" (very big problem with fake oils here). Butter is popular, too. When I go to rural areas of the country, the supermarkets have very good selection of fresh foods and cooking ingredients, which indicates to me that there is a demand for them. We render lard from bacon and save it for cooking. Works like a charm.
