> Is eating sugar when it is offered a disease

It's not, but it will lead to some (obesity, diabetes, heart disease, etc).

In the same way, consuming infinite amounts of quick-hitting and dopamine-inducing social media is not a disease, but it can damage our brains and lead to "disease" in the same way that sugar damages the rest of our body.

Again, I'm not a doctor and I have no facts/evidence to share. Just my own thoughts on how things are going.
