  the rate at which a black hole eats matter...


  ...it’s not even close to being as small as the 
  lifetime of our planet.
So the duration of time in which any given black hole might eat an amount of matter takes a lot longer than the age of the earth?

I think it's important to note that these things being discussed would potentially be micro-singularities, smaller than anything that might be visible to the naked eye.

Otherwise, it's pretty obvious that a planetary-scale black hole could handily destroy the earth in short order, by way of mere collision, whether consumes all of the earth's matter beyond its event horizon or not.

...anyway, yeah, the LHC's capacity for stranglets is otherwise negligible, and not very worrisome at all.
