Is it really?
How many lies do we tell on a daily basis? Which ones are acceptable, small enough that they're not hurting anyone? Do those lies exist?
Is lying by omission any better than lying by admission? If you just don't correct someone that has an incorrect assumption about something is that still lying?
I say no.
I think there are ways to answer the, "Do I look fat in this?" question that aren't lies, but also aren't unneccissarily cruel. The root of that question is usually, "Am I beautiful, do you find me attractive?" anyway.
What do you think? Is honesty really the best policy?
