2. What are the ethical issues in provision shop?

A provision shop is a store that sells food and other necessities like buckets, cups, and detergents.
The environment is being harmed by ethical issues in provision shops. Overconsumption of energy
and water, waste, packaging issues, inappropriate chemical use, genetically modified products, and
other environmental issues are all present. Provision shops are causing more traffic congestion and
pollution in the city.

Second, food safety in provision shop is another ethical issue that has piqued the public's
interest. Provision shop’s food is accused of being unhealthy and obesogenic. Provision shop try
their hardest to promote food products that are high in fat, salt, and sugar in order to increase
profits. The question of whether these foods are good or bad for people's health is purposefully
avoided. Furthermore, some provision shop have been accused of tampering with the products.
Lower prices can be offered to customers in areas where there is a lot of competition. However, in
another area with fewer competitors, the same products can be found at a much higher price in the
same type of provision shop. They always promising their consumers to offer goods with good
quality and low price. It is true with some food or products for daily usage, such as bread, sugar,
battery, etc. But with those that the consumers are not familiar with at all and the price cannot be
judged easily, the prices are always raised a lot.

Third, provision shop are being chastised by the public for stifling the economy in rural
areas by using their big purchasing power to drive down food prices. Meanwhile, the demand for
food product simplification and consistency reduces the variety of agricultural products. Provision
shops, in addition to polluting the environment and harming people's health, are "destroying
agriculture and ruining the countryside, dismantling communities and undermining local
economies, and reducing both biodiversity in the countryside and consumer choice."
