It's not that subjective, when you consider the relatively profligate abundance we are presented with in modern times. Royalty and the super wealthy from more than 7 decades ago would be astonished at the vast variety and quality of food available to us... it's an excellent meditation on gratitude to make yourself consider how fortunate you are if you have access to a grocery store, let alone higher quality farmers markets, restaurants, and now online delivery.
