The Talmud also explains that the law about the rape was not ideal but a concession to the primitive nature of human beings. Cheeseburgers, on the other hand, were not significant enough to make a concession. | |
| Aug 24, 2020 at 15:43 | comment | added | Meir | @MauriceMizrahi, that depends. The Rambam that N.T. quoted indeed says that they're allowed to eat this food only when necessary for their survival. (The commentaries on the Rambam there explain that it doesn't mean when their lives are in danger - in such a case it's not just soldiers, but anyone else, who are allowed to eat such food - but rather that they don't have to go looking for other food, and can just eat what's available.) However, the Ramban (Deut. 6:10) apparently disagrees, and says that they can eat it regardless. | |
