Zombie Questions, Zombie Answers.
Here is what I'd like to know about our beloved undead friends in cinema.
They are hungry for brains and flesh.
They eat the brains and flesh.
THEN WHAT?
Where does it go?
Down their throats and into their stomachs?
Do they digest it somehow?
Does it come out the other end at some point, theoretically?
Or does it get absorbed directly into - somewhere--- and then the moisture sort of evaporates off of them, like aged beef?
This has been puzzling me lately.

You should read "The Zombie Survival Guide" and "World War Z," both by Max Brooks.
They answer those very questions and are fantastic, "must-reads" for any zombie enthusiast.

Right, and that is according to that particular film's "universal rules". So in that film clearly some type of absorptions or digestion occurs. Otherwise how would they gain the benefit of eating the brains?

OK Tallguy, I'm intrigued ... what is it and where is it from?
BTW -- the girl with the brick -- first little shit to go ... she's frakking brains on toast ...

Maybe they chew on flesh like beef jerky.

If their stomachs leak, they can eat the flesh over and over, like in Marvel Zombies.
