VEGETARIAN ZOMBIES?
An interesting point was introduced last night while I was watching the new remake of Day Of The Dead, one I've never even thought of or heard of.
If you were a vegetarian in life, would you be so in death?

I was just thinking about that yesterday.
Perhaps they stay vegetarians, it seems almost feasible.
What if the zombie virus somehow couldn't take hold in a vegetarian?
That something about meat helped the zombie virus take hold.
Probably not true in life, but could make for an interesting story.

Probably not. Since vegatarianism is a moral or aesthetic choice, while zombification appears to reduce an individual to his or her baser instincts, it seems most likely that even a vegetarian would become a flesh-eater.

Yeah, I thought the vegetarian thing in Day of the Dead wasn't believable.
I believe that zombies do not "feed" but rather just attack to spread whatever it is that causes them to become zombies in the first place, so food preference wouldn't even be considered.
Also I agree with Randy, that you are no longer the same person once you become a zombie, you're not even a person anymore. In your normal life you wouldn't eat your family either, but once you turn that doesn't really matter anymore.
Although, the theory proposed by Larynx could serve as the good basis for a story, but if were talking real zombies, I don't think it holds any weight.

Is there evidence of zombies continuing habitual acts?
Would I light up a cigarette, or attempt to, if I became a zombie?

With little or no brain function? Possibly.
If I was a member of the dead and I couldn't smoke, I'd fall head first on a rusty nail.

Vegetarian s part of conscious thought. When you are basically a hungry animal fighting to survive off the flesh of human being, you do not have the conscious thought to be looking for the skin of an egg plant

Yeah, I don't think they would be vegetarians either.
But, if the subject was a vegetarian their whole life, and then after they became zombies started to eat flesh and all that good stuff, do you think that their body wouldn't function as well as it could because they weren't used to having meat?

that's a good point. It brings up the question of whether or not the dead are capable of being physically sick. And if so, which symptoms they would manifest, and which are a part of the living nervous system and wouldn't show up.
Certainly in living humans going from an all-vegetable diet to an all-meat diet would have adverse effects.
