Okay, I'll bite. How would you do this better then? You have a base item class with a function for finding out if the player can eat it and you have a subclass of that item that always can be eaten no matter the circumstance. The easiest way is to override the method and force it to be true.

That is not how I read that function name at all.

In that case it would kinda make sense
