sionnach commented on the word nutriaceutical
Bilby: this is a play on the vile 'word' nutraceutical and the large semi-aquatic rodent known as the nutria (alternatively coypu). Nutraceuticals are food supplements with putative pharmaceutical properties, but which are allowed to be sold unregulated in the U.S.

Gosh, I think Australia has a water-rat which is nutria something so I might have gotten that eventually, in a Dreamtime or two.
I hope you have "Beware Of The Nutraceuticals" on your front gate.
Thanks very much.
