A Matter of Danger Is Treated More Stringently
Question
Meat and fish were forbidden because of danger. The question is: but there is no danger, is there?!
Answer
And the proposed answer is: then there is no prohibition either. If you are convinced there is no danger, there is no prohibition. By the way, this is not only my personal opinion. There are also several halakhic decisors who wrote this.

And there are others too (if I remember correctly, Arukh HaShulchan writes this in Yoreh De'ah). And even something that was prohibited by a religious court should, in my opinion, be permitted in a situation where the danger does not exist.
Thanks.
