Is Doctor McDougall aware of this?

I was wondering around various vegan site when I ran into this article on Vegan.com. It was a piece written by Ginny Messina a well respected vegan RD. The article is titles "Vegan Nutrition Guide". And here is the part I found disturbing:
I kept thinking, "discredited" by whom? And where in the world does a very well educated vegan RD come up with this kind of thinking? And why?
I wonder whether Dr. McDougall, Essy, Ornish or Jeff would like to comment on this piece and possibly straighten this lady out.
Don’t hesitate to include other fat-rich foods in your diet, too, if you like them. Low-fat diets are based on an outdated understanding of nutrition that’s been largely discredited. Current recommendations support a wide range of fat intakes for good health, anywhere from 20 to 35 percent of daily calories. (This translates to 22 to 39 grams of fat for every 1,000 calories you eat.) What matters most isn’t how much fat you consume, but rather the type of fat you choose.
