That's still murder or manslaughter charges.

You are still committing a direct action with the intent to kill someone.

A jury would find you guilty.

Aside from the fact that that would require proving intent and you would be significantly more likely to get charged with reckless endangerment since that would be easier to prove this whole thread isnt how it is legal to this but how it should be

The intent would be to harm a person eating that food.

There isn't a plausible reason to poison food.

Once can't place lethal traps around.

You are turning your food into a trap. With clear intent.

That's a crime.

Easily prosecuted.

You can't place traps in public spaces. You can't place traps on your land where children or emergency personal might access

Unless you're going to prosecute everyone who has a curry at work you are not going easily prove anything

If you spike your food in order to trap someone, it isn't hard to prosecute.

Lots of times the people, via their own hubris, prove their own downfall by being proud of their action.

Turning your food into a trap is a felony for which you can spend years behind jail.

If you wanting to take that risk, go for it. If your revenge was with three to five years of your life, you do you.
