Eat Your Salad was the Latvian entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 in Turin performed by Citi Zēni. It centers around the theme of veganism and protecting the environment, through the use of vulgar innuendos to present being eco-friendly as sexually desirable.
It was performed 2nd in the first semifinal following Albania and preceding Lithuania. At the close of voting, it finished in 14th place with 55 points, failing to qualify for the final despite being a fan favorite.

Instead of meat I eat veggies and...
I like them both fresh, like them both juicy
I ride my bicycle to work instead of a car
All of my groceries are divided by weight and stored in glass jars (Yeah)
Got my reusable bag
That swag, my flex, my flag
Zero waste, that is my jam
Save fuel and sell your truck
The karma comes for free and so does luck
All aboard the green Titanic
Let's sail the world and then cruise the Atlantic
No ice in the way, no need to panic
All the signs are there, let's go organic
Oh, when you eat your veggies
Baby, think of me
Little kitty, don't you know that
Being green is cool?
Know that being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as faa
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
Ring, ring, God damn, it's an exam (Let's go)
Get your trash can, no back-up plan and sort through it
Bend over, then jiggle that peach (Ayy)
You recyclin' while I'm loving those cheeks (That's sweet)
I'm a beast instead of a killer, forget the hot dogs (What)
'Cause my sausage is bigger
Three, two, one, all the girls go eco
If you want your man's tongue longer than a gecko's
Oh, when you eat your veggies
Baby, think of me
Little kitty, don't you know that
Being green is cool?
Know that being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as faa
Being green is hot (It's hot)
Being green is cool (It's cool)
Eat your salad, save the planet
Being green is sexy as you
