In the first episode of Life in Food, I speak to Kris Hallenga, founder and CEO of the UK-based breast cancer education charity CoppaFeel!, about Food and Cancer. The discussion covers everything from nutrition to body positivity, guilt and shame - and eating cake with whipped cream at funerals. Delve into this episode for an uplifting chat with the author of the Sunday Times bestselling memoir Glittering a Turd.
About Kris Hallenga: Kris founded CoppaFeel with her twin sister Maren after being diagnosed with incurable (or stage four) breast cancer when she was 23. Thirteen years later, the charity raises £2m a year for its fundraising and is backed by celebrities including Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton. While being treated for her cancer, Kris has run a half marathon, starred in a documentary, written a book, started a coffee and cake business, organised an annual music festival, won a Pride of Britain award and successfully campaigned to get cancer on the school curriculum in the UK. Her campaigning has helped saved countless lives by giving people the tools to understand their bodies so that if they are ever diagnosed with cancer, it is caught while it’s still treatable. She lives by the sea in Cornwall, England.
