No Escape from Nestle (Subvert)

Oxford, UK, 1999, CounterFEET Anti-Copyright
Gold Blend Jar with Nescafe changed to No Escape, captions read 'from slow death' and 'Nestle and Baby Mild'. Reefers to the practice of Nestle giving free baby milk to mothers in the third world for just long enough for there body to stop producing it at which time nestle started charging for it. It has also been shown that breast feeding is particularly important is the Third world as it passes vital antibodies to the child.
