Shake their hand, saying "Well Done!"

Are you talking about yourself or another person?
First of all, think about whether that fear is really affecting this person's life in a terrible way. After all, I haven't bought food at McDonald's in years, and I live a completely normal life.
However, if this fear is really causing trouble for the person, there are mental health techniques that can help. Tell this person to contact a psychologist or other mental health professional.

Well, a fear of eating at McDonald's is a healthy fear. The food there is full of fat, calories, and sodium. The meals are unhealthy and they are not nutritious.
That said, if one is dying (no pun intended) to eat at McDonald's, one first needs to identify the root of the fear. What is it about McDonald's that brings one fear. Is it that stupid clown or something else? Once the fear is identified, you could try something like systematic desensitization, where you gradually expose yourself, little steps at a time, to the feared thing, to help overcome the fear.
I've listed sources for info on systematic desensitization and McDonald's nutritional info:

Cook for them. Let them eat a nutritious meal cooked in a clean, safe place-- your home. It is probably even cheaper than all of you going to McDonald's. Don't make people eat something they don't want, or could get sick from. Etiquette is about making EVERYONE involved feel more comfortable.

May be you can take the person along into McD, but order for yourself only. Tell them nothing happened to you after eating and you survived the test. They'll naturally get some confidence and try eating something.

Leave them alone about it. You don't need to eat fast food. The place is probably unsanitary any way, and we all know the food is no good for you. Buy them a cook book and take them to the grocery store. Eating out usually means over-eating.

Eat it infront of him/her with some friends or family on occassions when he/she is very hungry. That will provock his/her appetite. Don't always forget 2 let him/her know how Nutritious and tasty it is.
