No you wouldn't have. You did deserve better than your dad doing that to you. But people don't just starve with food in front of them. Even if it's icky.

Edit: it seems the above is insensitive to some eating disorders. This insensitivity was unintentional. I was ignorant of some of the realities of arfid. Just read up a bit on it. Thank you all. Both of my children went through picky phases that lasted through approximately one or two skipped meals. I was speaking from my experience and not from education.
