Well, we know what we know about contamination because Rick went to CDC. Abraham, Tyreese, etc... would have no idea. If I ran across Rick, I wouldn't decide steak's back on the menu because he said it's cool and Walkers have no interest in anything but meat, so I would assume a natural correlation. I get your point about protein.

What it comes to for me, is I could see one, maybe two people, work as human hunters. But once you establish a collective group it falls apart. The reasoning behind Donner and the Andes plane crash was "help is coming, so hang on". That's why I think they went back and studied the Great Famine, which is the closest to the 'Dead situation, but the lives and education of middle ages people were drastically lower than today. They were already living on the edge survival, so it's not a hard leap to cannibalism. I mean, if Terminus are cannibals, what are they holding on for? Live to a ripe old age? Your neighbors will eat you before then. In the comics, they turn to cannibalism because they sucked at hunting animals and were starving. Any group that lazy would wipe each other out.
Now, Terminus was also a Roman god of demarcations, boundaries, perimeters, etc... and he required a human sacrifice. If 'Dead's terminus is roping people in, taking what they have, and then euthanizing/sacrificing certain people, (the sick, the old, etc...), that I could see. Like a variation on Wicker Man.Comment

Bacterial infection. Think of it like MRSA, the flesh-eating bacteria. If a small wound becomes infected, it can kill you in days. Zombies would be rampant with bacteria. So the bite isn't killing you, it's the subsequent infection. If you had medical supplies, you can stop it, which is what we saw with Hershel. What's reanimating the dead is the virus.Comment
