How about Ice-cream (factually-)is unhealthy and Being unhealthy is (morally-)bad?
How about this. Everyone should ideally agree on what is factually-true. Some people (evil people, aliens, etc) will disagree with what is morally-true.
Of course, some moral-beliefs are more prevalent than some factual-beliefs, but I still think there's a fundamental difference between someone who doesn't care if he gets fat and is a drain on the NHS and someone who thinks the earth is flat.
