I was thinking the same thing about mana being an unbalancing issue, But my initial idea was to not make it regenerate rediculious amounts of mana. Perhaps just double or triple normal speed for a minute or two, then the effects wear off. If this idea still seems unbalanced, you can limit the amount of times you can eat . (i.e, one "special food item" every ten minutes)

It wouldn't really effect pvp a whole lot if you could tweak it to where you only get the bonus mana if you are not in war mode or something. This would help for Pvm'ers as well as merchants.
