Perhaps the idea behind 2,4-D ready plants is that if you could make plants that are immune to both chemicals and then spray crops with both at once and reduce the chances that weeds that are developing resistance to one or the other will survive to pass on their DNA.

Well, people are against GMOs because they are against GMOs. They're not against GMOs for reasons. The arguments come after to justify being against GMOs. If an argument doesn't work, there's plenty where they came from.
Yea resistant weeds just mean you have to use old fashioned plowing and hired choppers. It's not a big deal, other than cost.
Talked to my dad today and there's a new cotton tech that uses a different herbicide (forgot the name sorry) that has been around awhile. All the farmers around here jumped on it and bought a bunch of seed. Then the EPA didn't give them approval on it. So they sold the seed before they had EPA approval haha. There's tons of the stuff already planted and up and being sprayed now.
The 24d ready stuff got approved, but the company that got the approval wasn't expecting it and didn't have any seed ready.

I honestly don't think that the anti GMO crowd realizes that without them our yields per acre go down to levels where the current population is unsustainable.
You wanna solve world hunger? Well, some white people already did that about 20 years ago. They made corn better. World hunger is a logistics problem not a supply problem.
And dude. The Jews have legumes that will grow in salt water. SALT WATER. I can be very jaded and difficult to impress, but that blows my fucking mind.

It'd be nice to see if this actually worked out in treatment for us.

Watched a basic home made YouTube video the other day about grilling and the dude says not to let any blackness or char happen to the meat because that char is made of carbon which is a carcinogen.
Carbon.

No, they are well aware of that argument. They just have a dozen cherry picked responses to show why its just a big lie and we could all simply feed ourselves with community urban gardens if people weren't brainwashed by Monsanto and the big pharma devils.
Was itorganic carbonthough? That makes all the difference!
