Kerala’s XXXX% “fat tax” slashed fast food purchases by XXX% in 2016—yet Trump’s tariffs still treat India’s $1.4B QSR market as a geopolitical ATM. His admin’s XX% steel tariffs cost U.S. farmers $1.2B in 2018, proving trade bluster backfires. Why mimic failed tactics?  

India’s organized fast food sector grew XX% annually pre-2020, but Kerala’s tax cut consumption *5.6%* post-repeal. American chains peddle additive-laden fare while Delhi’s chaat stalls thrive. Weaponizing NTFFT risks mirroring Trump’s myopia—but auditing U.S. meat’s XX chemical additives? That’s leveraging 1B stomachs as trade armor.  

Let Trump’s McNugget diplomacy rot. India’s dhabas outflank fries with samosas—no tariffs needed when culture’s the ultimate spice war.
