McDonald's will always sustain declining growth because consumer's tastes has changed over a generation.

That, coupled with the knowledge that you are consuming an entire days worth of calories in a single meal will really hurt their future growth, to say the least.

Well, actually, being a successful Weight Watcher I can say there are things on all the fast food restaurant menus you can eat and not gain a ton of weight. You just have to go with the Jr. Sizes, avoid the meal deals etc. A lot of them still offer Fat Free Dressings for salads etc.but you have to ask for them. You won't find them on the menu. An order of Wendy's Chicken Nuggets, a McDonald's regular size hamburger, a Taco Bell Taco or Bean Burrito isn't going over board at all.
