Want, not need. A few days without food is quite survivable for a healthy human. And if you get selected for a space flight, you are healthy.

That works if you have absolute trust the rescue team will reach you on schedule. If you are unsure whether few days won't turn into few weeks, or whether there will be a rescue team at all, it's best to secure food and shelter while you still have the energy to do it.
