Description: This hilarious New Yorker cover from April 7, 2014, shows a regal lion sitting in a trendy café, reluctantly poking at a plate of leafy greens. His expression says it all: this king of the jungle isn’t thrilled about his kale salad. Outside the window, other animals—like a hoodie-wearing zebra and a giraffe—pass by a chalkboard advertising smoothies. It’s a clever, cheeky snapshot of modern health trends through a wild twist.
Historical Context: Created by artist Peter de Sève, this cover playfully comments on the rise of health food culture, especially in urban hotspots like New York. At a time when kale, green juice, and vegan cafés were everywhere, this image offered a lighthearted take on how even the most carnivorous among us might be caught ordering a salad. It was chosen for its humor, relatability, and spot-on satire of city life and dietary fads.
