In an effort to empathize with the hardships suffered by primitive peoples (Europeans), I've limited my diet to cigarettes and coffee.

He describes Purism as having "a social purpose first", "a strong belief system", and "ethical commitment" that they place before profit or shareholder value. So it's easy for them to frame every businesses decision through the lens of serving the greater good, as they see it at least.
