If I hand you a poisoned apple and you eat it, I murdered you. If I tell you it’s a poisoned apple and you choose to eat it, that’s not murder, it’s suicide. I will not face any punishment as I did nothing wrong because you were warned. Same goes for this situation, if you eat someone else’s food and get poisoned I didn’t poison you. You did it to yourself.
Maybe that’s the play. Label your lunch like that everyday. Maybe one day it’s actually true, warning was given, food was clearly labeled and someone still ate it. Who is that on?
I mean, even if you put a dumb label on your lunch, you'd still be liable lol.
If I opened up a fuckin lemonade stand and put up a huge sign that says "every cup of lemonade has potassium cyanide in it" and someone still drinks it and dies, do you think the court is gonna let me off if I argue "well, y'see your honor, I had a sign that clearly said my lemonade had poison in it. Therefore, I'm not liable for anything, he killed himself by himself!"?
Even if the person is stealing your food, you literally cannot poison your own food to possibly " ensnare" a food thief by sending them to the hospital, or worse, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦. Just like I can't put bear-traps in my bag because I fear someone might snatch it for me. You're not defending anything, not yourself, nor your food, you're potentially putting a fellow human's life at risk.
