I like the moral rating questions, but I think they should have a scale that includes both positive and negative values. Asking "how good or bad is X?" will get more honest answers than "how good is X?" or "how bad is X?".
You are probably right.
The core things I care about isn't direct honesty. I want to see how the difference in judging eating animals translates into rating of how much animals the person eats. That means I need a big scale where a lot of people can answer that eating animals isn't ideal but not that big of a deal. I also don't know that anyone argues that humans have a moral obligation to eat animals.
On the other hand in the case of rerouting trolley cars a two sided scale seems important.
