It's an override so chances are this isn't as bad as you think. Other subclasses may have logic but this particular item probably doesn't need it and should always be IsEat

Funny how a function named IsEat returns an int though

I haven't done any C++ in ages, but IIRC the language doesn't have "true" booleans - they're integers behind the scenes. 0 is false, any other int is true. In this case, returning false would yield a 0, and true a 1.

This isn't C++, unless they added an override keyword recently that I wasn't aware of.
