If Emmanuel Verstraeten's dream comes true, something different will happen when you open a restaurant menu.

As you cast your eyes over the entrees and try to decide what you're in the mood for, you will notice certain dishes have a squiggly red insignia next to them. SPE, the three letters in that curly logo, stand for Sanitas Per Escam, which is a fancy Latin way of saying "health through food."
