You're right in that no one should force their way of thinking on anyone else.
If you want to eat KFC, if I want to eat gobs of bacon(mmmm, bacon), knowing the inherent problems of its fat content and nitrates, that is no one else's business.
I use my own bags for groceries because I know that keeps less out of landfills, but I'm not going to start preaching that to the person behind me at the store.
On the opposite end of the preaching what's "right" spectrum, I smoke, but I'm certainly not going to force anyone else to by extolling the advantages of smoking (not that there are any).

What it amounts to is, in my little opinion, this: when someone has a real belief that what they're doing is the "right" thing, they can do one of three things: STFU and just do it; covertly push their cause by incorporating it into normal conversation; preach.

Most of us choose the middle(I just did).
