I don't know about digestion and all that, but it was brought out that feeding keeps the walkers "energized" and aggressive. If they can't eat, they become more docile and will slowly start winding down. This is why Michonne was able to keep a couple of "modified" walkers on a leash as bearers. Don't know if they'll completely shut down if deprived of "food" for a long enough time.
Never saw one so gorged-out that it couldn't even move like that walker who munched up Lori.
Supposedly, what or whoever's on the other end of that phone will be revealed in the next episode.
I also immediately thought of Jim Jones and "Jonestown" when the governor and his people were introduced. More than just a passing resemblance too...
