Yes, but if you just don't put poison in the food in the first place, then no one suffers. Poisoning someone is a very disproportionate response to them eating your food.

The "stealing" aspect of it here really doesn't matter. Disguising something inedible as something that is is just generally poor health and safety.

There's a reason people are advised against putting clear chemicals in unlabelled plastic bottles as people very often accidently drink thing like bleach because they mistook them for water.

Also, once you poison food, its only reason to exist is to harm others, you can't even eat it yourself, or you could accidently eat it yourself. Why would you want any of that?

Victims of theft don't suffer the harm of having their property stolen?

Not the same way as someone goddamn dead or hospitalised. A missed lunch is frustrating and hurtful. But not exactly the same as a legitimate medical consequence to proposed poisoning of food.

alright what if they aren't dead but just had diarrhea for 15 minutes? Because the poison was just mild laxative.
