It depends on what you are cooking.
If you are worried about animal fats, shortening is made from vegetable oil. Lard is made from animal fat.
Butter can often be substituted, but once again, it depends on what you are making and it isn't any healthier for you.
There are several recipes that use apple sauce instead of oil/shorting, but you need a recipe that is specifically designed for this substitution.

Depends on the recipe - for sweet use softened Butter (cakes/cookies, etc) for Savory use oils 1-lb can = 2 1/2 cups. Hope this helped!

If it was supposed to be white shortening, I'd use lard. Butter-flavored yellow shortening, I'd use butter or margarine.

Butter or margarine are sometimes used as substitutes.
