My father suddenly started to ignore me (16F) because of food... It started, like, 2 days ago. Help?

I don't get it, we were at the dinner table and as always, he started to belittle me about what I eat. For context, I am eating healthy enough, i always eat vegetables and fruits with the main thing. I am also healthy, my blood tests show it and my body is in the green space. On that day, I made myself a plain Sandwich, white bread with some thin slices ham and had some cucumber and salad with it. My father started yelling at me, saying I should stop being a picky eater, calling it "baby taste" and telling me to stop eating unhealthy (he was referring to the ham. A thin slice of ham.).

I started arguing that I am literally eating vegetable and fruits and my breakfast was a whole ahh cucumber for the last weeks. He kept talking about how difficult I am with food as soon as I rejected to try the weird creation of cucumber salad he made. He knows I am a picky eater and the only salad I eat is plain iceberg salad. I am also a big enemy of sauces. So it went back and forth of me telling him to stop and him finding more and more things to critizise me about. Then he pulled my mom into this, asking if my "problems" will go away eventually. My mom was really annoyed and told him to please stop bothering me about food (this happens like every dinner). Then he yelled at her about stopping to emberass him in front of their children (me and my little sister). Well, he kept trying to argue with us, but we weren't having it, so we just told him to leave it. Surprise: he didn't. Then, he said, "fine, I won't talk about it again.". 5 seconds later, well, you can imagine. Finally, we were finished eating and cleaned up and he literally just stopped interacting with me. I say hi, he ignores. I say "love you", he ignores me. Like wth?? My mom says he needs some alone time now. I am so frustrated, it's like i am getting punished for nothing.

Sorry I wrote that much.
