Otto Wolff is a German physician and an Anthroposophist

and his approach to nutrition is both scientific and spiritual, which may seem unfamiliar to many of us in the United States.

In the book, Wolff explores topics that have become popular in recent times, like the benefits of lactic fermentation and raw milk.
However, he does not promote a specific diet, Rather, he outlines ideas of nutritional science and advocates for moderation, common sense and eating close to the earth, He does not necessarily espouse a vegetarian diet, but does assert that a vegetable diet has more vitality, Most importantly, he sees food and nutrition and our choices as an expression of our connection to our own nature and to the divine.
