During the last six decades, from the World War II years on, the phenotype of human beings has changed profoundly. The dominant slim, pale and light phenotype of the 1920s has gradually been overthrown by the heavy, large and ponderous phenotype of obese people. Obesity is rampant in the USA (http://www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/ obesity/trend/maps/, accessed on 20th July 2008) and, even though to a lesser degree, most European countries share the same epochal evolution [1]. Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are the two most important non-communicable disease outcomes of obesity. Abdominal obesity is strongly associated, and at least in part in a causal manner, with hypertension, dyslipidaemia and impaired insulin resistance [2]. Well beyond these complications, neoplasia [3], greater exposure to drugs of various sort, sterility [4], asthma [5], non-alcoholic liver disease [6] and osteoarthritis [7] are
