We are not only the top of the food chain, but the new designers of the food chain. As you point out though, human selection doesn't produce better humans, it produces worse humans, humans often incapable to deal with existing conditions yet still able to survive them because we protect the weak, the slow, the deformed, the stupid, etc. And we call ourselves the apex of evolution.
It's a true paradox that the ultimate best that evolution could produce is now actively working against it, and going backwards on the evolution scale.

I think that inevitably there will be some kind of global disaster, dramatically reducing population and destroying the way we currently live (if it doesn't wipe us all out).
At this point those with adaptability, intelligence, strength, relevant skills.....and weapons, will make it through to continue breeding. Evolution will again get the upper hand.
Vegetarians, and those unwilling to eat different sources of meat (for instance cats, dogs, rodents) or protein (ie grubs, insects) will be unlikely to survive long term.
