They do grow fast and healthy but the key is as they grow you increase the size of the food item. As a pinkie becomes a fuzzy it contains more calcium as the bones are calcified. Try feeding your snake a steady diet of nothing but pinkies even as it grows and you may see different results.

The wbsite was not saying that pinkies are bad food, they were simply saying that in order to provide greater nutritional value you should increase the size of the food item accordingly as soon as possible.
