His main reason WAS to not eat humans. Otherwise he wouldn't have hesitated to eat up Shinohara. At least in the beginning... he didn't eat much ghoul flesh (maybe none at all) before he lost against Shachi. Shachi's overwhelming power was what triggered Kaneki to start devouring that many ghouls (in the manga it was rather due to his little talk with Kanou I guess). But before that (and afterwards) Kaneki just kept doing the same stuff which he did in Anteiku: Sugar cubes "specialé".
