Brains.
Cholesterol.
The brain is high in fat.
Are zombies wanting our brains because they, the zombies, are ketone fuelled?
Are zombies ketogenic?

But how would the ketones get around? They don’t have a regular blood circulation. Do they? 
but then again brains have to be digested somehow…

They walk or crawl, so their lymphatics may still be working with that muscle movement to at least carry fatty acids, and probably some ketones.

Maybe zombie is the next phase for Keto Carnivores.

But aren’t zombies braindead? For me the ketogenic diet did the exact opposite…
Then again it also increases some of the more animalistic basic instincts

They have enough awareness to seek out brains as a food source and they have quite good physical stamina and high pain threshold. I think it is their ever increasing need for ketones (and enlivening their brains, mental clarity etc) that keeps them chasing people.

Grains - Brains - sound similar. So they ate Grains - got killed - realized it was meant to be Brains (great Keto Macros0, and now they live on forever.
KETO is indeed the elusive fountain of Eternal Youth!

Zombies are the final stage of vegan malnourishment. The fat in brains is great but may not reverse all of the damage!

Cholesterol is good stuff. Curing zombies is a great evolution of the thread. This may change horror movies forever.
But Omega 3 fatty acids (DHA) may be even better.
Maybe even ALA (parent omega 3 fatty acid that can be sourced from plants. It is a substrate that can be used to generate ketones. And is why people can formulate a ketovegitarian diet))
Maybe zombies are chasing Omega 3 fatty acids and Omega 3 fatty acid substrates, as well as ketones and cholesterol? It certainly would improve their skin and hair health.
Ancestors in Africa cracked open skulls to eat brains to access Omega 3 fatty acids from a source that is remote from being able to hunt fish or forage molluscs (oysters etc). They also got long chain Omega 3 fatty acid substrates (ALA) from plant sources… ducks behind zombie proof shelter … something that is healthy in grains. @Rajseth @richard
Crikey, are we descended from zombies? Or should we actually all be eating more brains? Based on this thread: Looking for recipes with Cow Brains , we are not keen to eat brains. @CarrieBrown
The first ONE MINUTE of this YouTube clip has Dr. DiNicolantonio PhD takling with Mike Mutzel from High Intensity Health about this subject
In other fossils at the same site Dart saw evidence of meat-eating, such as baboon skulls bearing signs of fracture and removal of the brain case prior to fossilization, with v-shaped marks on the broken edges and small puncture marks in the skull vault.

Head cheese used to be considered a delicacy, you know. Laura Ingalls Wilder wrote about it in Little House in the Big Woods. Do you suppose the zombies know something we have forgotten?
