Fast Food and the economy

I wonder to what extent the Fast Food industry has been affected by the downturn in the economy.

On one hand Dollar Menu sales could soar as cheap and fast food continues to rule the American diet while on the other hand families could be spending more time on meals that feed the whole family and last for multiple servings, leading to savings.

Does anyone have any idea how Taco Bell, McDonald’s and the like fared in the past few months compared to other fiscal periods that were in less of a recession?
