Slimming plans already going awry, or at least made harder work, lots of sin free things aren't any more. See this post to the SW community for more details if you're interested.

How did they suddenly become more sinful? Did the manufacturers change the ingredients or something?

Sometimes things change because of ingredient changes. But sin values are based on energy density really: not so much the actual amount of fat and cals in a thing but also on how much it fills you up per calorie. I suspect given the vast number of changes they've discovered that many things aren't as filling as they'd hoped. Or perhaps the simple truth that when told you can eat as much as you like of a convenience food people really will eat far more than is actually enough to make them feel full.

That's why I have so many cans of macaroni cheese in the cupboard for when I'm dizzy but not hungry. If I will eat nothing else, I will eat that.

Maybe they should have the first can/portion of those things a day as zero-sin, and any after that having a score. Then people would stop after one, maybe. It's all very complicated!
