You make the same profit selling food to a starving person or a full person, but the starving person has a higher willingness to pay. The issue WOULDN’T be distribution if it wasn’t for wealth and income inequality.
Wealth and income inequality can be fixed in Democratic Capitalism, you just vote for a tax that is distributed to the poorest people. We just haven’t done that to the degree necessary to solve this problem.
If you think about it, for food, you would sell more if there was less inequality and you could sell to more people at the same price. So if there WAS some all powerful Food Capitalism Cartel they would be in favor of something like a wealth tax to fund a UBI.

Literally all arguments against UBI are based down to “but, but- The workers will have a leverage!”
