They are not saying that pinkies are not good food. They are saying that as your snakes grow you should move them up to larger rodent prey as soon as possible.
They are saying is that pinkies are not as nutritionally complete as adult, or even fuzzy, mice. The bones are not completely calcified thus there is not as much calcium in a pinkie. As far as other nutrients go, I don't know about that but I have read that about pinkies and calcium in a few places. I don't know how true it is.
From the limited translation I could do, and the little time I had to read it, this seems like a pretty decent site that he visited.
