If you haven't figured it out yet, you're a getting back megillahs instead of simple answers to your question from those of us you around this summer. When it comes to a Mitzvah there are those of who are simply going to follow the Torah version, then there are the ones who follow the Talmud version of it and then there the ones who are somewhere else in different variances. I follow the Torah version to the level I'm comfortable and able to. I don't use two sets of dishes since my current technology dishwasher raises the heat level of the water it uses and thus sanitizes my dishes/utensils that there is no reason to. Most of my meals are vegetarian. I don't eat beef and pork. My chicken comes from a Halal butcher. All the food in home is OU. My failing comes in the seafood category where on top of eating fish, I also enjoy other items that come from the sea. On the outside of my home its either Vegetarian, Halal or seafood. IMPOV this Mitzvah has so many subcategories in it that IMPOV it's not a all or nothing Mitzvah. I don't judge myself as failing the Mitzvah. Others here do make judgements of others even though the Torah tells them not to and only G_d can make that call. G_d does not state anywhere in the Tanakh that if one misses one Mitvah one is judged to have failed completely. As stated recently in another thread, G_d already knows we are going to fail a certain amount of Mitzvot and has a balancing scale for it. So thus I can Judge myself, G_d can Judge me in the Olam Haba (the world to come) and the rest the earthly beings can gay cocken offen yam (Yiddish term that loses its meaning when translated into English which basically transliterated is to go take a crap in the sea). Close enough for you?
Good stuff Pruz. You've truly thought out where you're holding on kashrus and are making your food choices as a matter of kedusha. Have a good shabbos.
I think some people are rather "spoiled." What if you (have to) live in an area with no kosher stores. Sure, you can find some products that are kosher but e.g. kosher meat can be just about impossible to get in such cases.

Just my 2 cents.
What happened to just clean you shall use as food and unclean shall not be for food...I mean how did it get so complicated?...
