Let us try this on a few relatively straightforward but instructive examples. For each of the following passages, reconstruct them by inserting argument indicator words so that an argument which makes sense results (and remember, you may need to reorder the sentences).
2.7.1 The traditional British approach to food safety has been one where local health offi cials only intervene at the level of food retailing, for instance inspecting premises where food is prepared or sold. However, a much broader approach to the question is needed. Many of the dangers to our health resulting from the food we eat arise from the way it is produced in the fi rst place, that is, the modern intensive farming practices involved, rather than small-scale organic farming. A national food agency that fails to address the question of food production will therefore be unlikely to protect us effectively from damaging our health through the food we eat.
