If it was just because they were hungry, there are animals who supply much better meat and are less likely to fight back. The reason they go after humans is because on a a subconscious level they are trying to fix themselves and by eating human flesh, it's an attempt to absorb their life force. There are NoZombieCannibals because other zombies don't have life force.

This is why the stories differ so much on creation, reproduction, and extermination. A necromantic-raised zombie is different from a virus-raised one is different from a construct-raised one from a pharmacological-raised zombie. Woe to the person who confuses a magic-modded undead super soldier for a stumbling victim of drug-induced stupor[[SecretOrganizationCravingIntelligentEnigmaticTropersYonder .]]

When you see a zombie movie, the individual zombies are no threat; the problem comes from the outnumbering humans. It's a dozen humans against billions of zombies with society in ruins. So if it is billions of zombies against billions of humans with working infrastructure (including well-trained armies), then things start looking less hopeless.
