Please note that I didn't recommend the CSPI itself, only their food-labeling publication linked in my blog post.
I myself advocate only for healthful eating, not a specific dietary regimen. I do believe that food consumers ought to have simple, clear, and unambiguous labeling that describes what's in each package of food offered for sale. Furthermore, I believe food-marketing literature and labeling should be free of deceptive or misleading claims.
I thought the CSPI publication was thorough, fact-based, and balanced in its (albeit strong) recommendations for improved food labeling. I didn't find any activism on behalf of a particular diet, personal point of view, or way of life.
Have you read it? If not, I suggest you spend some time with it. If you have, please point out the sections you find objectionable. Perhaps we can have more discussion on the topic, here or in some venue outside the blog.
