Question by youngandfly: Can you eat meat and dairy together if your are 100% the milk and meat are not from mother and child?
In regard to Kashrut (Jewish Diet Laws) and seething the kid in its mother’s milk if your are 100% positive ie ( you milk one of the animals yourself and that animal had no calf and the other is slaughtered in a far away land or the animals are of two different species say goat milk and and hamburger) the milk and meat are not from mother and child is it ok.

No. For example, milk and chicken meat together are forbidden. The Rabbis went nuts making up funny rules losely based on the Bible.
Not too may people obey the “no two fibers in clothing” rule.

Spiritually speaking, I can eat w/e I want (provided it’s edible).

The laws regarding keeping kosher would say no. It’s a situation where the scope of the law goes beyond the letter of the law. That said, some Jews would say that it’s ok; for instance, Sephardic Jews do not forbid the eating of the meat from birds with milk, since obviously birds don’t give milk.
I think it’s also a question of making sure that other Jews do not concern themselves with even the potential or the appearance of going counter to the laws; although you may know all these things, others for whom you cook might not, so they might feel it necessary to avoid the food (and thus waste it, or go hungry) rather than potentially break a law.
Ultimately, it’s something that each individual has to decide for him/herself.

No,
The passage in question about seething a kid in its mother’s milk has been interpreted by rabbis and Talmudic scholars over the centuries in the broadest sense possible, so that NO meat from any kosher animal may be eaten with ANY dairy product from any source at all. The prohibition is so strict that kashrut-observant Jews have two complete sets of dishes, pots and pans, silverware, cooking utensils — even separate dishwashers and sinks for Orthodox Jews — one set for foods containing dairy and one for dishes containing meat, just to be absolutely certain that there is no accidental combination of meat and dairy (like an imperfectly washed dish or pot, for example). There are also laws concerning how long you have to wait after eating dairy before you can eat meat, and vice versa — to make sure that meat and dairy don’t mix even in your stomach.
