Are you asking if vegetarians would start eating meat after the zombie apocalypse or vegetarians turned zombies would eat meat? Either way, probably yes.
Lol, well I've been vegan for almost 15 years now and I'll tell you--I've wondered that myself from time to time. I can't answer for anyone else, but I can answer for me--I'm a survivor and I would/will do whatever it takes to survive no matter what. So yeah, I'd be making beef jerky out of Mark's legs for some walking-around snacks. Hell, I'd do as much as I could to get all of us survivors as many veggies as I could simply because they're so damned good for us, but if there wasn't enough to live off of I'd eat meat, dairy, honey, eggs, garbage, bugs, scabs, whatever. By the way--can we eat walkers without getting infected? I'd eat them too if that's the case.
When it comes down to it, the will to live is stronger than anything else. I'd be a handy guy to have around though, because I see food all over the place where other people don't. Dandelion greens may not be the best tasting thing around, but there are tens of thousands of them all over North America and Europe, and they can keep you alive for quite some time just by themselves. Not to mention all of the wild fruits, nuts, seeds, grains, and other assorted plants I can identify, grow, and harvest. If you only think of meat as food, you're missing 90% of the food out there.
"Vegetarians cave on sticking to their diets all the time."
Yeah, I've seen plenty of that too. Those aren't vegetarians though, they're tourists. And btw--it's not something that is difficult to "stick to" unless you aren't doing it for reasons powerful enough to believe in. I know it's the right choice for me, but I certainly wouldn't try to tell anyone else how to live their lives. I can't stand vegetarians/vegans that act like they're better than everyone else. I also can't stand people who eat meat and act like they're better than everyone else. In my book no one's better than anyone else, and what a person chooses to eat just ain't all that interesting to anyone but them.
Funny thread though, put some interesting thoughts out there for sure....
On if you can eat a zombie without getting infected: Yes. Hell, unnamed characters have KISSED a toothless zombie (which later involves swallowing their fluids) and suffered no consequence. You'll get sick from the rotted food, but it won't reanimate you.
Does a zombie vegetarian eat meat? Does the human survivor who is starving but offered a plate of carved leg eat meat?
In both cases, yes. Vegetarians cave on sticking to their diets all the time. If one of them skips a meal, they've been seen eating raw bunnies.
eh, its not that hard, surely if you make a commitment you stick to it? also if it was a zombie apocalypse id join the st john bros just to try what human was like (i tried most reasonable meats prior to being a lettuce muncher):P then id go back to loving cabbages w/e but anyway i love how what others eat bothers people...its a personal preference for me, but thats just me, if people want to eat meat, great, I wont/cant stop anyone because im not going to be telling people what to put in their mouths hahaha thats petas problem they try to force it onto people and doing that is the quickest way to piss anyone off...
but there is a lot of genuine vegetarian/vegan hatred on the Internet. Some of the hatred is directed not at the practice itself, but at what is perceived as a self-righteous attitude that vegetarians/vegans may have, that they have to tell you they're vegetarian/vegan and condemn you for eating meat. And sure, anyone who judges you for eating a ham sandwich can go fuck themselves :P but does every vegetarian/vegan do that? And is that because they're a vegan/vegetarian, or just because they're an asshole? Assholes, you'll find, are omnivorous. Also, Omnivorous Asshole would be a fine name for either a band or a porn site.

You've written a lot more articulate version of what I'm saying nicely put.
Hmm, they would. There is documentary when people get stuck on mountains and resort to cannibalism so they can wait and survive because the rescue team didn't know where they were yet.
Ok. Speaking as a veteran veggie. I am a veggie because I don't need to eat meat. From day 1 of the zombie apocalypse it all goes out of the window. If it moves, eat it. If it doesn't move, eat it. If it tries to eat me, eat it, but cook it properly first.
I would boil/braize zombie. The meat would be very tough and chewy, so cooking it this way would hopefully soften it up, and by using high enough heat, maybe help kill off bacteria.

For the most tender meat on a human, go for either set of cheeks. I'd go for sliced face first though...
scenario 1:
see some dude beating up a downed survivor who tried to kill him... another survivor shows up..
survivor: dude! stop hitting him he's had enough, what did he do to you ?
dude: tried to kill me for supplies..
survivor: well he's out cold he's no threat..
dude: i like my meat tender last guy was too chewy..
survivor: he ain't dead though..
dude: (stabs screw driver in skull) is know 'shrugs'
Take a a whole chickenbreast with bones, put it into some tupperware and leave it for 2-3 days at room temperature.
Your chicken breast will now be covered in a decent amount of slime and have a disturbing stench about it. It should still look like a chicken breast.
Now we debone the spoiled meat. This should by no means be harder then doing it with a fresh breast as the bacterias working it will keep it nice and firm.
Wash the slime of in the sink and see if you can get rid of the smell, also dry it with some kitchen paper.
Ok, time to heat up a pan and fry the breast with a lot of salt and some pepper until it is really well done.
Good job, you have managed to fry a piece of rotting meat to order. Cut it up and try to even chew on a piece of that... I say there's no chance you will be able to swallow it, without struggling it down. Keeping it down and staying healthy after that is still another story.

Humans don't have meaty cheeks, we are built a tad different then cows, pigs and fish, If you wanted tender meat, go for the filet, the muscle strands located to the left and right of your spine.

imo the smart ones would already be self sufficient and grow what they need and if they had sense to secure the 'farm' they'd be safe for a while..
then again hershal/the st johns thought that too..
some would take the zombies arrival as more reason not to eat meat..
...all right, this is getting too gross.
thought the same but decided not to say it
sick bastard lol
In both cases, yes. Vegetarians cave on sticking to their diets all the time. If one of them skips a meal, they've been seen eating raw bunnies.

depending on how quickly your diet changed your body would have trouble processing the different 'new food' groups
and in extreme circumstances you'd probably die with out meds..to help you body cope.
then again i bet your farts are legendary?

obviously...you are still eating human flesh :P
But Cyreen, how were you fishing without a pole and tacklebox???
not at all
"Vegetarians, Zombies: The Thread".
Catch much with that? I'm guessing a lot of rubber boots.
/thread
I'm curious, how would you cook zombie? Would you marinate that first?

See it as a Zombie survival prep training.

I'm a chef and I just couldn't stand any more of the above talk. So it's me, not you... (not trying to split up with you!
