I'm not sure how applicable this is to the US. But here in the UK the decline of Lard, (which was everywhere when I was growing up as a child) could be also attributed to the fact that there has been an increase in the number of vegetarians and ethnic minorities. These groups dietary demands would have a strong influence on restaurants and takeaways that are looking to cater to the largest audience size as possible.

The omnipresent Canadian chain, Tim Hortons, for example, stopped using lard in it's baked goods in 1997 and I seem to remember at the time this was partially due to a lobby from Muslim community groups.
