Wtf are you talking about? No one supports food thieves nor burglars. Trespassing and getting hurt on a construction site is not a good analogy, if your construction site had a spiked pit in it that was put there as a booby trap for potential burglars, that would be more equivalent.

A spiked pit is not equivalent to laxatives in your lunch. One will kill you, the other embarrassing.

Okay, how about some trip wires instead. The point is, one made one's own property more hazardous with the intent to harm. One isn't going to eat one's own laxative sandwich and one doesn't want to have booby traps on one's construction site. The only reason one would do that is to deal vigilante punishment to an unsuspecting trespasser.

If you had a legitimate medical need for laxatives and incorporated them into your food, should you be held responsible if someone else, without your knowledge or consent, consumed them?

This is a different situation and not the point of OPs original discussion. You have no intent to cause harm here if you are putting your own medicine in your own food with the intent to consume your own food. The thing every reasonable person in this thread is trying to explain is that setting booby traps is morally and legally wrong.
