That article has so many holes in it, I don't know where to start, short of going back in time and writing it for them and then setting it on fire.

This really says it all, "An 8-ounce bag of Reese's Pieces is just a cup of candy. But with 1,160 calories and 35 grams of saturated fat, it's like eating a 16-ounce T-bone steak plus a buttered baked potato." These two things have the same amount of calories and saturated fat, but one of them is obviously real food and the other, well, you guess.

Further, CSPI's history is more than a little sketchy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSPI

Mark Sisson has a lot of good material if you're interested in saturated fats and other food info. This article is even from 2009: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat-healthy/
