Why Zombies Eat Brains

Let's get right to this, because you're food on the hoof and you need to know this. You need the dirt on why zombies eat brains.

First, brains are tasty. Yeah, that's the biggie right there. Your freakin' brain is better than caviar, better than sushi, better than steak tartare.

Second, the challenge is part of the fun. After scaring the piss out of you, zombies get to pry your skull open to get to the soft gushy treat. It's like those tool-using animals on educational TV shows. You gotta work to get at the meat. 'Nuff said. 

Third, it's messy. Just another part of the fun factor.

Oh yeah -- and eating brains is satisfying. Feeds that urge like nobody's business. Nothing but brains scratches that itch. Brains... yeah.

And brains are nutritious -- that's important when your food is always trying to run away.

So, if you're wondering about the motive for zombie attacks and the upcoming zombie apocalypse -- you're it. You and your delicious freakin' brain. Hey, you weren't doing much with it, were you?

Here's a clever graphic of the Zombie Food Pyramid to give you an idea about the importance of a well-balanced zombie diet, like you came here for the care and feeding of zombies, you sweet little morsel you.

Zombie FAQ

Why Do Zombies Eat Brains?

Brains are loaded with nutrition for a hard night of shambling after humans... oh, what the hell. They taste really good.

What will be the biggest benefit of the zombie apocalypse?

 

An end to pollution. Zombies don't produce toxic waste, dump garbage into space, the oceans and the earth, or massacre other other species. 

We -- they -- hunt to eat, like any reasonable creature, and happen to be doing the planet a massive favor by reducing the population of the filthiest and most creatures living on planet earth: human beings. If you really think about it, zombies are noble, and may be able to save the planet and a few endangered species just in time. But you don't really have to think about it. Your brains have more important work to do -- serve as zombie food.

Is there any way to survive a zombie attack?

 

You're kidding me, right?
