The Walking Dead: 10 Giant Plot-Holes You Probably Missed
5. Why Is Food Such A Rare Resource?
One of the things that the show likes to focus on other than killing zombies is the 'human drama' of it all. By this they mean the constant hunt for food, constantly arguing over petty little things, and fighting off the occasional cannibal group. But just like the earlier gun argument, there really shouldn't been too much difficulty in finding enough food. Zombies tend to feast on fresh human or animal flesh and will skip over most of the food items in a supermarket every time. With most of the population being zombified and swapping over to a flesh-only diet, shouldn't there be more than enough food left over for the survivors without having to resort to cannibalism? Admittedly, the food choices available in a post-apocalyptic zombie world will probably be limited to canned-foods and vegetarian meals, but there should be no reason for anyone to starve in America. The show should just do what it does best and focus on the zombies rather than spending time on less interesting stuff like foraging for canned soup.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
