I agree that 1 and 2 are valid points. However,

Candy bar does not necessarily equal good in all cases. Your example should read 'A is B', which is only true in some cases. I am sure that there is a mass produced candy bar that you dislike. But other people must like it if it is mass produced. The point is this: not everyone likes what you like. One thing can be both good and bad at the same time in the eyes of different people.

Same with morals. Who says what is moral and what is immoral? You? Me? How about both of us? Yes, our ideas of morality are probably different, but that does not necessarily make either of us wrong (or right)
