Recently, I learned that there are two types of zombies. You have the undead ones, that have arisen from the grave, probably a little disappointed in the afterlife, and who come back to eat your brain (which indicates that the afterlife really must suck if it compares unfavourably to eating brains). Then there's the virus type of zombie, you know, from Resident Evil and 28 Days Later. Left 4 Dead sports the latter variety, but really, does anyone even care? Zombie mayhem!

In which case - shouldn't make-up + social camouflage (act like them) be the easiest possible defense? I think participants of zombie mobs know what they're doing...it's training for survival!
yeah it was tried and proved once in the excellent "Shaun of the Dead" [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0365748/]

Why don't they eat each other?
In case of undead ones...sure, fresh, living brain might be a lot more tasty then decomposing one in a skull of such zombie, however in this case they wouldn't be able to sense taste. Plus they would be much easier catch to each other.
In case of infected ones taste of brain should be no problem...
Though one could argue that typical zombieficating virus alters the behaviour in a fundamental way that makes them target humans...
