Neither answer they offer is correct. For those keeping Kosher, meat and dairy can't be eaten together because the Rabbis say so, justifying the general case from the specific biblical prohibition on boiling a kid (usually goat, but in this context, possibly any young domesticated mammal) in its mother's milk. There's no other justification.
I am a bit surprised by your POV.
Haven't you notice the same in other questions concerning other religions?
The right answers have nothing to do with religions. It is a red herring.
The right answer is what scientifically is right in their point of view.

either red herring or a source of the info that has been known to us for thousands of years, thus pointing out that there is nothing really new.
