A few months is a long time without anything to eat.

Yes, but what do you do after/if you make it through those few months? And under what possible reasonable scenario do you not eat for a few months?
Rule of 3's. 3 seconds without atmospheric pressure, 3 minutes without air, 3 hours without heat, 3 days without water, 3 weeks without food, 3 months without hope. Any of those things can kill.
