There's been a lot of discussion about this. My own opinion is that, given speech
patterns of the day, the sentence is parsed better with a comma after "used". In
other words, it *does* restrict meat to only times of winter or hunger. The
phrase "not be used only" is anachronistically late 20th century. Otherwise it
appears to be self-contradictory, unless you're living mostly in times of winter
and hunger. In any case, I don't think it's a big deal, but it certainly isn't a
justification for vegetarianism, as good an idea as vegetarianism may be (but for
others, not me!)
