However at the begining of the outbreak most people who came back were people who had been bitten.
This also explains how Carol's daughter was in the barn; she could have fallen or drowned or something. She would have died, come back, and then Hershal put her in the barn.
As for how the zombies live for so long without food- maybe it's like the one that got Hershal. They go to "sleep" until something wakes them up.

There are actually two "types" of zombies in the Walking Dead universe. The "roamers" are your typical walking around following sound zombies and the "lurkers" the ones that just sit around and really only move if prey gets close to them.
There is actually a board called roamers and lurkers and they have some pretty good Walking Dead info.
