Actually, many (I suspect most here in the United States) Jewish people do mix meat and milk, because only the more observant Jews maintain a kosher diet as prescribed in the Torah, and only those who keep kosher have the meat/dairy prohibition. I’m no authority, being a reform Jew relatively ignorant of kosher dietary restrictions, but I’ve found this web site that explains the background of that rule: http://shamash.org/lists/scj-faq/HTML/faq/06-16.html
