        The cheeseburger thing is rabbinical law.

        It doesn’t say you can’t have a cheeseburger anywhere in any of those books.

        It says “don’t cook a baby goat in its mother milk”

            You can do things in your home.

            Anything inside your fence is your home.

            Magic wire is a fence, and everything inside is part of the home.

            God hates this one weird trick.
