Cheeseburger

Maybe

The Torah does not prohibit the eating of milk and meat products together in a general way that would cover a cheeseburger. The passage that has been used as the basis of all the Orthodox Halakhah on Milchik and Fleishik, four sets of dishes and how much time should lapse between the eating of the two kinds of food is very specific:

You shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

Ex. 23: 19, 34:26

Does this apply to Cheeseburgers? Do you, as a Reform Jew, feel comfortable eating cheeseburgers, or mixing milk and meat in other ways?
