The Austin Chronicle: Screens: The Hard Question: Why don’t zombies just eat one another?: So the question must be asked: Why don’t zombies just eat one another?

There. Someone had to say it, and I suppose I have thus unloosed the elephant in the living room. I realize this may be an unpopular proposition, but hear me out. There are many reasons why zombies simply ought to look to one another to address their nutritional needs.

Is there a good reason why zombies can’t eat each other? Do they derive life force from their feeding, so dead flesh is just useless to them? Or maybe in the case of “infectious agent” zombies they recognize their own kind. Interesting question; a perfect ponderable for a Friday afternoon.
