People can't protect themselves completely from predators, yet we know of hunter-gatherer tribes who don't cultivate lands and survived in company of large predators.
The much worse killers of people are diseases, the worst of which are passed on to us by farm animals (not a problem with magical food), famines (not a problem with magical food) and metabolic hazards (not a problem with magical food).
The people in this world will be exceptionally healthier than humans throughout most of our history. Yes, there will be an overpopulation problem - which again leads us to think about those soldiers. But there will not be a problem with performing magical research. I guess (it's all purest speculation, evidently).
