From the e-newsletter of The Auto Body Experience:

I've noticed that people almost always say "flesh-eating zombies"
(never just "zombie") when referring to the undead. At first I doubted that this was an important distinction, but now I'm starting to suspect that it is. Maybe vegetarian zombies walk the earth in great numbers, but they're just not that much of a problem, as long as you don't have a garden. As I think of it, the few times I've shopped at a local food co-op I always felt a little ill-at-ease: I assumed it was because I could never remember how to price my own items, but maybe it had to do with the strange pallor of the employees or their slave-like devotion to a group coincidentally known as the Grateful Dead. Perhaps we should learn to harness vegetarian zombies for the forces of good - they could be put to use as portable compost units, studio audiences for popular talk shows, or as members of the legislative or executive branches of government. Perhaps they already are.
