Konijneneten literally means rabbit food, and Bart Peeters turns that idea into a playful protest song against dieting. He admits he has gained a few kilos, but the moment someone tells him to survive on nothing but lettuce, radishes, and carrots, he rebels. With a cheeky grin he waves goodbye to the “dictatorship” of diets and defiantly sings the praises of chocolate, fries, and mayonnaise. The catchy chorus—“’k moet het niet weten, ’k moet het niet weten” (“I don’t want to know about it”)—is his joyful refusal to let calorie counting ruin the fun in life.
Behind the humor lies an encouraging message: life is too short to spend it feeling hungry and guilty. Peeters invites us to laugh at our own food anxieties, celebrate good taste, and remember that being happy is healthier than being perfect. In short, Konijneneten is a toe-tapping reminder that pleasure and self-acceptance can be just as nourishing as any salad bowl.
