Drawing on research and Rudolf Steiner's Spiritual Science, this book by Gerhard Schmidt, M.D. looks at nutrition, offering a new dynamic view of humanity and the world -- and of food as a community-building force. Concerned with the problems resulting from the modern viewpoint of nutrition and the research of modern science, this book examines the fundamental and general aspects of nutrition.
Schmidt makes the case that continued healthy human development will require us to re-conceptualize our understandings of nutrition, to find "a new light of consciousness to illumine our conception."
