Remember Pavolov's dog? Not the part about ringing the bell and the dog salivates (or its stomach produces digestive juices - they were big into vivisection back then and loved the idea of having a window in the dog's stomach), but that it was originally trained with actual food. All those people on social media are salivating (or whacking off, virtually) to the bell. Same with the legal and illegal drug hounds.
What this country needs is regular, sit-down meals at home (preferrably with other humans) instead of fast food. Train the dog back to eating food without the bell, make it an actual dog again instead of a machine with a primitive video monitor on its stomach. It might even develop an interest in other dogs. Of course you have the problem of other dogs, who still have screens in their bellies, thinking it's weird and scary.
Saw an article the other day about the real problem with everything today is turning supplements into substitutes. Drugs that supplemented health become necessary for life, social media that supplemented meeting people become substitutes for... like that.
