Everyone desires to be [a] god. What does a god have the power to do? Create. Naturally everyone wants to create things. When we can't or aren't allowed to create we return towards the other power gods have: the power to destroy. We all want to feel in control. One way to feel that is to create things the other way is to destroy things.

And destroy is one of the synonyms of consume.

  Some things aren't destroyed when they are consumed. A digital recording doesn't disappear when listened to. A book is fine after it's read.

    Well, depends on how charitably you choose to interpret "destroy". Not all books are worth a second read.

    That's why it's one of the synonyms.
