this is a good example of what separates a ben torah from a apikoros.

a ben torah says if that’s what the posuk hador, rav moshe zazal says, that’s what we’ll do, we can try to understand his reasoning, but there is no room for turkey on that day in my house!

an apikoros says, i don’t see what’s wrong with it, so I’ll eat it, until and unless you convince me not to.

wouldn’t this be the one thing that’s easy to adhere to? and not spend time looking for heterim? i purposely don’t eat turkey (which i like) to show i listen to gedolim, and proud of it!
