How we wish. But there's signs that it may already be approaching:

McDonald's stock is trading near its seven-year low, its chief executive quit, and in the nine months ended Sept. 30 its global same-store sales were off 2.1%. [...] Subway, promoting its (foot-long) sandwiches as a lower-fat alternative to burgers, now has more U.S. franchises than McDonald's.

Not that healthy-eating forces have won - "Americans who want to eat right have to behave 'abnormally'" says the chairman of the World Health Organization's International Obesity Task Force.
