Something has to happen with it though, or they'd explode. Maybe their meals are broken down in the stomach and everything is absorbed to the body. |
Ok, after considerable research there is no absolute consensus on whether or not Zombies have a working digestive system.
Most seem to think that your traditional zombies, (like the ones on this show) do not have a working digestive tract. However, their stomach produces enough acid to still break down their food and convert it to energy. Zombies can starve but their bodies will shut down and "hibernate" until a food source is located nearby. Otherwise it feeds upon itself adding to the decomposition process. If there is an abundance of food, a zombie will eat until it's stomach ruptures. They will then continue to eat and eat until they literally explode or until their jaw falls off from decomposition.
Another theory was that their digestive tract works through sheer force. They pack it down and it just forces itself through. Kind of like forcing sausage into casings.
A third, (preposterous) theory was that zombies are magical satanic beings that convert food into "Mana" which I find totally absurd.
