231,236 PointsChallenges look for specific results and not just for the code to run without errors. The test result message contains some hints at the end: "Bummer: AssertionError: ...[message abbreviated]... Make sure the message has the correct spelling and a period(.)"
So it's specifically looking for the message to contain the word "eats" (with the "s") instead of "eat", and of course it wants to see that period at the end.
Two other issues that don't conform to the challenge's "good practice" expectations:
- reference to the internal value "food" should be done via "self" instead of the class name
- there should be a space after the keyword "return" (and the parentheses are not necessary)
