I gave a bit more thought the to dietary desires of the Zombie and I have developed a theory. If we are to accept that a Zombie will not eat another Zombie but only a living member of its own species, then a Zombie's food supply is limited to the living human population. It is also in competition with other Zombies for that food source.

Now let's just say that a Zombie will eat just about any part of the human anatomy, except for maybe a toenail (that's just too disgusting to consider.) If a Zombie takes a nice big bite of a living person's calf, the Zombie feels quite refreshed, but it now has a future problem. The victim with a bite out of its leg will soon succumb to the infected wound, die, and then become a Zombie as well. There are now two Zombies competing over the same food supply. If, however, the original Zombie goes after the brains of its first victim as opposed to the calf, the Zombie gets a satisfying meal and the victim will not reanimate because the brain is gone.

Thus, it is my hypothesis that a Zombie will eat just about anything from a human victim, except for the aforementioned toenail, but will focus first and foremost on the brain in order to keep competition in check.
