The amount of days it takes for fresh veggies to expire versus the price maybe. But hard to measure because I didn't measure this 25 years ago. 

I sort of expect that overall this will just illustrate a decline in privilege though, as its likely that simply more people got access to greens and the loss of quality is a function of adaptation in the production methods to feed more mouths.

what would be your best/preferred indicator, other than just hunch/feel?

Your salaries and savings get you more or less, better or worse stuff than 25-odd years ago? I find it increasingly difficult to tell.

In terms of primary necessities, I feel that were getting worse quality for a higher price across the board. Maybe there is more abundance overall but of quality stuffs? I'm skeptical.
