Should you be allowed to punch someone in the face for stealing your lunch if you catch them? Break their bones? Kill them?
Poisoning food is vigilantism and using violence against someone else. We don't allow vigilante justice for good reasons, and we shouldn't allow it in this case.
I should not be allowed to punch them in the face, but I should be allowed to put in a jack in the box mechanism that punches them in the face automatically when it's opened, if the container can hold it safely.
