GMO advocates engage in false equivalency, equating those who don't want to eat it to "conspiracy theorists" and anti-vaxxers. They behave like people who ate "The Stuff".
A more honest analogy is comparing anti-GMO people to vegetarians, and GMO advocates to omnivores who demand that everyone eat meat. Would you force meat on a vegetarian? No? Would you forcefeed pork to a jew or muslim? No? Well, if you're not that rude or engaging in dishonest claims about one choice, why would you make it about another?
The issue of whether GMO is safe is irrelevant, and I am not talking about that. This is about the freedom of individuals to choose what to eat, and GMO advocates want to deny people that choice, disparaging and attacking people for making that choice. GMO advocates sound and act like Henry Ford: You can eat any food you like, as long as it's GMO.
