Dear Zombie Master: Can Zombies Starve?

Dear Zombie Master,

If not fed, do zombies eventually starve to death? If so how long does it take?

Thanks,

Tobias

Tobias,

This misconception has become more prevalent since 28 Days Later came out claiming to be a zombie film. But the opposite is true. You cannot starve Zombies out because they no longer have any nutritional requirements to survive. They eat only because of a strong craving being signaled by the brain. Just like a drug addict, the craving will never truly be satisfied and they must search for the next fix. Just remember one good shot to head, and you will no longer have a problem with that particular zombie.

Good hunting and aim high,

The Zombie Master
