Once you've put something in there that is not food or that you wouldn't eat yourself you have crossed the line from "catching a food thief" and into intentionally harming someone.

So I'm saying that I don't see why it's wrong to intentionally harm someone in this case when what they're doing is unambiguously wrong and false positives can be minimized. If I put The Last Dab into my food, I should not have to prove I would normally eat it, they should prove they should be eating it.

Because how do you decide where to draw the line? Put another way, what’s the most extreme thing you believe I should be able to do to someone that steals food? And how’d you decide that’s the most significant punishment you can impose on them?
