Almost 3 in 4 Americans are fat. It’s inevitable that plenty of them are in denial about this simple fact.
I doubt they’re all bad people as it goes. Everybody’s at least a bit vain, insecure or prideful. Whether it’s adding an extra inch or deducting a few pounds.
Crucially however, the overwhelming majority of those people who lie (to themselves and others) about their weight, aren’t convicted rapists, traitors, or fascists.
Claiming he’s 215 is a lot more than “a few pounds” and I’d bet the majority of people at least make an attempt at good faith when filling out official paperwork.
I think he meant the lying about weight.
