Why are states on eastern side of united states called midwest and that is because the Great Lakes states were originally the Northwest Territory, since the United States didn't own anything past that. After the Louisiana Purchase, it didn't make any sense to refer to them as the Northwest, so they became the Middle West. In the US, the Midwest is positioned more east than it is west.

It's not the middle or the west of the US. Because when the US was expanding in the 19th century - and when many regions were initially being named - the “Midwest” was to the west of the main population centers in the “13 colony” states on the Eastern Seaboard

Answer:

Yes. Such an action constitutes a tort and a crime.

Explanation:

A tort is a wrong done to another person while a crime is the breaking of the law of the state or Federal government. Put simply, a tort is a wrongdoing on a personal level while a crime is a wrongdoing on a societal level, while tort is privately morally wrong, crime is publicly legally wrong.

In the scenario above there is a 'tort' because the employees are spitting into the food of those they do not like. This is on a personal level as they are not spitting into the food of every customer but only the food of those they dislike. Also, a crime exists because this is happening at a public place. It can be said that those restaurants are intentionally serving unhealthy foods to members of the public and both the owners and employees of those restaurants could be charged.
