It's been awhile since I've read it, but I recall that his dissent into insect tastes and desires correlates with the degradation of his self-esteem that he derives from his position as a salesman, his ability to support his family, and his relationship with his sister.

The worse they view him, the worse he becomes and being forced to take in lodgers and hide and cower away with the loss of control is more horrific to him than the actual transformation.

It's been years so forgive me if I've misinterpreted or forgotten a key theme, but the idea is not to let a fall from grace consume you.
