Hi @Ties2901,

you can try s.th like this… (not tested but should work. maybe typos but you should get the idea)  
And please rename class Object to better naming ie. class Food…  
Why renaming?  
[Java Object Class - Javatpoint](https://www.javatpoint.com/object-class#:~:text=The%20Object%20class%20is%20the,class%20object%2C%20know%20as%20upcasting).

Cheers
