If I were to take this pizza to a lab dissect it, I’m not going to locate some property called “good” in it, the location of “good”, is in your subjective biological state, it’s in you rather than in the pizza.
The property of the pizza that makes me perceive it as tasty is of the pizza, the perception is from me as a form of response.
Good here is just another way of saying it’s tasty. We acknowledge that meaning of good here is subjective rather that objective. It’s something said about the subject rather than the object. Good expresses something about you, and not the pizza.
This shouldn’t be something that we should be disagreeing on, particularly when we both readily acknowledge that we’re talking about something subjectively good here.
You might not understand what this has to do with the objective goodness of morality just yet, but you shouldn’t be so resistant to acknowledging the nature of a subjective good.
