When I was in my twenties I backpacked through Europe with my brother and a college friend. one of the places we went to was Rome, and one of the places we visited there was the Spanish Steps in the world-famous Piazza di Spagna. The area is gorgeous, typically Italian, and simply bursting with history, authenticity, and tradition.And no one loved the area more than Italian writer Carlo Petrini. So you can imagine how he felt when, in 1986, McDonald’s announced it was building a restaurant there.

ON A THURSDAY MORNING in midwinter the Tucker family woke up to the eerie silence and deepening cold that signal a power outage. Mike Tucker stumbled to the window. Every house on the street of their affluent suburb was as dark as his own. He muttered softly as he lit the fireplace in the family room. The fire was soon roaring, but it heated only a small area directly in front of the hearth. The rest of the room remained chilled. Lisa Tucker rummaged through the kitchen cabinets, looking for breakfast for the couple and their three children, eight-month-old Dan, six-year-old Austin, and twelve-year-old Audrey.
My eighty-seven-year-old father’s favorite expression is “When you wake up in the morning and both feet hit the ground, you’re having a good day!” Indeed! But certainly the definition of “life” encompasses more than waking up and just existing, right? Isn’t it also enjoying a life as pain-free and disease-free as possible? That is a truly desirable manner of living. Sometimes it seems that our joyous holiday or regular dinner conversations revolve around nagging health ailments that constantly interfere with living. George now has gout, Grandma has diabetes, Suzy has irritable bowel syndrome, and your sister complains that she can’t lose those last ten pounds (well, maybe twenty), even on the latest deprivation diet. In response and without fail, someone at that dinner table always comes up with a home remedy or a wonder food, heard about from a friend, that is sure to cure the ailment. Yes, everyone feels that they have some expertise in the field of nutrition, but whether their advice is sound or even safe to follow can be a roll of the dice. Still, there are foods that hold vast curing and ameliorative powers. You just need to know how to find them.
