Indeed. A deleted scene actually reveals that there is little to no wildlife left on the island because the Dragons over-hunted the woods in order to feed the Red Death. And with winter coming up, fishing and growing crops become's much harder as well. So Hiccup's humerous comment about the Vikings needing a little less feeding was actually a lot more serious and insulting then you might think. People could and would die. Infact, winter and the effects of it (Such as a lack of food, water and diseases) were one of the biggest causes of death in that era, and it still is in some regions.
