The problem is that when people stop believing in agency and will, everything gets worse. They're not a perfect model of things, but imposing on society a single attractive view on some pet issue of yours is almost always worse than letting people get it wrong.
Private society is actually getting better at avoiding misuse of food, drugs, and communication platforms; my young sister is well aware of a lot of the pitfalls, and monitors her use of social media rather carefully, she watches her food intake carefully and asks interesting questions about the effects of certain foods. In general, I have high hopes for the next generation, I think they will figure this stuff out fast enough.
