Hi,
"Regarding the prohibition against eating meat and milk:
"Aside from the fact that this is a very coarse food and it causes great satiation (and therefore poor digestion in Galen/Maimonidean medicine), it appears not unlikely to me that there is also a relationship to idolatry. Perhaps they would eat such foods in an idolatrous service or for an idolatrous festival."
(Maimonides, Guide of the Perplexed, III 48)
Have a great day,
Mordechai
