Is this far-mode? Seems like telling the truth (ie. you're obese) signals rudeness or discomfort to your friend, and thus for example we find it much more useful for our own goals to tell idealistic things (ie. excercise is great). Privately we know the truth. In politics however people might really have wrong beliefs without realizing it on any level.

In any case, its just moral hazard.
