Why, you are the one pretending to be a Talmudic scholar.
You must not know all the dietatry restrictions. What would mixing meat and dairy have to do with health?
The Hebrews were to seperate themselves from the rest, through their actions.
Study Talmud. All the reasons are given. "The dietary restricitons were put into place for health/sanitary reasons" is usually spouted by 1)People that do not know anything about Judaism, and 2)extrememly unobservant Jews.
The "separation" is Ivri, is it not? Abraham's condition as "another."
Fine, and thanks for the explanation. I am willing to learn.
Having said that, the poster to which I was replying at the time made the claim that the restrictions were MORAL commands.
