Perhaps instead if Universal Basic Income, there should be universal basic food, universal basic health care and universal basic housing?

Sorta? I thought the point of UBI is that things like food stamps are too restrictive in their assistance. People should be free to make their own choices on how they allocate resources. But yeah, market forces can distort the means needed to hit some minimum bar.

In practice the best implementation might be based on flexible choice, via an allowance that reflects local food prices and available resources. But paying a fixed amount for all costs of living may not create market baselines or even allow for covering higher needs in old age.
