It is. Get over it. Most Jews have.

Reform Judaism and Reconstructionist Judaism hold that these laws are no
longer binding. Most Jews in Reform Judaism have considered these laws a
hindrance, rather than a facilitator, of piety; this is still the
mainstream Reform position. Some parts of the Reform community have
begun to move towards a more traditional position. This
tradition-leaning faction agrees with mainstream Reform that the rules
concerning kashrut are no longer binding, but holds that keeping kosher
is an important way for people to bring holiness into their lives. Thus
Jews are encouraged to consider adopting some or all of the rules of
kashrut on a voluntary basis. The Reconstructionist movement advocates
that its members accept some of the rules of kashrut, but does so in a
non-binding fashion; their stance on kashrut is the same as the
tradition-leaning wing of Reform. The different movements' positions on
kashrut are reflective of their broader perspectives on Jewish law as a
whole.

Many Jews who do not meet the complete requirements of Kashrut
nevertheless maintain some subset of the laws; for instance, abstaining
from pork or shellfish. Many Jews will likewise avoid drinking milk with
a meat dish, without knowing why doing so seems alien. Similarly, many
keep a degree of Kashrut at home while having no problems eating in a
non-kosher restaurant.
