I am Big Balls!

Recently I have been analyzing some different investment options. My personal opinion is that the bull market is going to recede some soon so it won't be as easy to just "throw money at about any stock" and make money.
Looking into some of them I ran across theVice Fund, which as the name implies focuses largely on things we consider bad habits (Smoking, drinking, gambling, etc...). The worst the fund has done over the last 5 years was around 10.8%.
Given this I started to think. My wife and I both firmly believe that human civilization is heading towards the world portrayed in the cinematic classic "Idiocracy". The only question is how fast, how long before 'OW, my Balls!" is really a show? So I was wondering. How do you invest to make a profit off the dumbing down and lowest common denominating of society?
First thing I thought. We're seeing dramatic rises in the number of people on food stamps, and the number of people who are only working part time jobs. What buying trends do they represent that one can invest into? There is the obvious play into healthcare and companies specializing in treatment of obesity and diabetes from horrible diets.
Would it make sense to play into energy drinks anticipating the trend of moving towards something like Brawnd-o? Which companies in that market make the most sense?
Help me out wise people of the internet, what are the best bets for companies which will thrive as our Rome proverbials burns?
