Questions one why did the makers of supernatural make the majority pagan deities eat humans. Well this is my theory. As in old pagan religions many gave tributes of food and even humans to their gods. Now as a Season 5 Salute said gods don't gain power from a link between believing or worshipping them. It did state that a large number of gods need humans and other creatures for other things. It could that humans are like a food source to to them. So by feeding on people it made them more powerful like as now they are nearly starving to death. That allows gives them a link to the Supernatural feel that most supernatural beings kill and or eat humans. I think pagan deities or Divine Immortals that need to eat and only humans can work. As stated by Soulless Sam  gods got to eat too. In Episode You Cannot Handle the Truth.
