안녕하세요?

아래 문장에서 궁금한 것이 있어서 질문드립니다.

making ~ 이하가 분사구문인 건 알겠는데요, making의 주체(의미상의 주어)가 해설지에 we ignore ~ as a whole 이라고 되어 있는 것이 이해가 잘 안 갑니다.

분사구문의 의미상의 주어가 앞의 절 전체를 의미하는 경우를 자주 접하시는지요? 제가 공부한 문법책에는 이런 설명이나 예문을 본 기억이 없어서 매우 낯설게 느껴집니다.

저는 we 라고 생각되는데요, 어떻게 생각하시는지요?

The problem is that when nutrients are studied in isolation, [ we ignore the vastness of the system as a whole ] , [ making ] it extremely difficult to know what any given nutrient’s effect really is within the system.

Some researchers argue that food science is necessarily reductive because the entire food system is so complex that all they can do is break the system down into isolated parts and study them. The problem is that when nutrients are studied in isolation, we ignore the vastness of the system as a whole, making it extremely difficult to know what any given nutrient’s effect really is within the system. For example, the combinations in which we consume foods and drinks can have tremendous influence on their benefit or harm. We can hardly absorb the iron in a steak if we drink a cup of coffee with it. That simple addition of a particular liquid into the steak meal yields a different nutritional result. In other words, if we want healthy meals, we have to understand the entire process of eating - with all of the factors that affect a healthy outcome.
