Not really. Joining the NW means somehow crossing entire warzones and marching or sailing thousands of years, and that takes food a lot of people don’t have to begin with.
Are you surprised that the Night’s Watch isn’t getting more recruits during the WOT5K and it’s aftermath? GRRM describes the NW as eating fairly well (at least before Stannis and the Wildlings arrive) and I would think they must have more food than most smallfolk.
