It's weird to see people using this dim reactionary as an authority figure. Barry Commoner, who made his scientific name by dethroning the fundamental dogma of molecular biology (that, following a model of the cell based on the capitalist factory, influence only went from gene to protein synthesis; Commoner argued instead that the process was very complex, with the cellular environment influencing gene expression - or so it was explained to me once by a Marxist biologist), is now turning his attention, at age 81, to genetic engineering. He's convinced that while you can't trust Monsanto, a lot of its critics don't know what they're talking about either.
