I’m with you here! The difference with us as conservatives is that we don’t push our choices onto others and we don’t demand government actions that require others to do what we do. I prefer to grow and preserve as much of our food as possible, so another reason I dislike certain companies that make GM foods is that I can’t save seeds like I do with my heirlooms.

Is it possible that you don't see your own hypocrisy here?

You say that you are a conservative and you don't push your choices onto others. Great - I applaud you for that.

But then you say you "dislike certain companies that make GM foods." Why is that?

It's because they have this weird desire to earn back their research and development costs by charging for their products. Isn't that you wanting to push your choice, i.e. that Monsanto should operate as a charity instead of a profit making business?

That's what it looks like to me.
