A better way to put this is something like "there is no starvation left that could be treated by government programs."

So you are saying that there is no starvation that could be treated by government programs, but there is starvation that could be eliminated by UBI?

Errr....

UBI means every citizen gets a sum of money in their account each month. Current government programs means people need to jump through multiple hoops in order to get food. I don't think UBI is a panacea, but I don't think it's a stretch to say it'll reach people who aren't being helped by the current welfare systems.
