How do I apply a shell command to many files in nested (and poorly escaped) subdirectories?

Question

I\'m trying to do something like the following:

for file in `find . *.foo`
do
somecommand $file
done

But the command isn\'t working because

Answer 1

find . -name '*.foo' -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 somecommand

It does get messy if you need to run a number of shell commands on each item, though.
