While I totally agree with you, I have to admit knowing people who indeed and really "consume" stuff much like they would drink a cool soda on a hot day: Quickly, indifferently, and without a second thought.

So it's not really a misnomer, just a specific attitude not everybody shares (Fortunately, but that's just IMHO: YMMV and all that).
