Why the new nutrition labels won't work <- I disagree with this. Do you?

This article kind of boils my blood. It doesn't take into account that nutrition labels were paired with advice to reduce fat and no info about sugar. So in that case, i imagine people followed the labels and recommendations - that's why we see the issues we see today. And it also doesn't offer a better solution. I agree with simplicity, but flat out saying the improvements like adding the "added sugar" line item won't have an impact is a miss. Nutrition folks - thoughts?
