Okay. It's after a major zombie outbreak, there's probably nothing to eat. All of the cows are - well, actually, all of the cows are probably fine because the zombies don't eat them and they're not that high maintenance; eat grass, poop, sleep, repeat. Probably sheep and chickens too, both of which are edible. Also, there's eight billion kinds of vegetables whose seeds can be found in pretty much any small town. Plus, corn and wheat, if you can find a variety that isn't genetically engineered. Also, there's got to be some supermarkets open that haven't been utterly looted.

Barring all that: There's still squirrels, innumerable small animals and - most importantly, now that there's no cars and no organized hunting, the deer are going to be breeding completely out of control. Probably to the point where they'll walk up to you to get a kiss.

So: All that being said, why are these guys eating human flesh, except because the author wanted to do Cormac McCarthy's "The Road" with zombies? I mean, I don't mind grim, but this seems grim without really backing it up. The world's ecosystem hasn't been destroyed, just the human portions of it.
