It's arguably one of the most grisly shows around and now the cast and crew of zombie TV show, The Walking Dead - have reportedly been put off their dinners by the bloody scenes.
So much so that several members of the team have reportedly decided to turn vegetarian, according to the Daily Star Sunday.
Norman Reedus, 45, who plays Daryl Dixon told the paper that he is one of the stars to change their diet, saying: 'I've become a vegetarian and I'm kind of bummed about it.'

A source also told the paper that around 80% of the food served on set is now meat-free.
'After watching Walkers realistically look as though they are consuming bloody human flesh or seeing heads and other body parts sliced off, no one was touching the red meat or even chicken,' they said.
Adding: 'Often, we're talking about hundreds of people who need to be fed on a show that uses an enormous number of extras all made up to look so scary they'd put anyone off eating.'
