📝 AITAH for telling my daughter to choose the "less white" bacon?"

My daughter was picking up bacon and eggs for me and called to ask which to choose between the two options. I said, "Whichever one is more meaty and less white. Because that's fat and that's gross." (Yes, I know bacon is fatty no matter what.) Since she's a teenager, this was on speaker phone, and this woman made a point to tell my daughter that she can choose whatever bacon she wants. My daughter was obviously confused and startled and said, "That's okay, this one looks good." The woman then said my daughter was too skinny and insinuated I was starving her? We're a healthy family, but we love our carbs fries... no one is starving over here. Should I have told my daughter to get the bacon she most likely wouldn't eat even if I cooked it for her?
