Set a cap based on city size. Like say 3-4 days worth of food. While on holiday your cities will eat food till they reach the 3-4 day limit. This will encourage players to either stay engaged (out of holiday), or use smaller armies.
There really isn't much of a way around it.. you kinda need that food on your account or it will get farmed while you are on holiday, so most likely you'll downsize your armies so you can sustain the troops.
I know some people think this is nuts, but really holiday mode has become less about not being available to play and more about stocking up food for massive armies. Evony probably won't go this route because it would be an issue with revenue, but how badly do you want to fix the problem?
