I think my kid is eating carrot to spite me?

my 2 year old son hates carrot, normally he will not touch anything vegetable related unless its very well disguised but he's not grabbed a carrot from the fridge and after asking me to cut it up is happily munching away, do you think it's because I told him he can't have anymore food because he threw most of his dinner in the sink, and more importantly do you think it will last? should I give him more options with carrot now or just take it as he's only eating it because I told him he can't have food and its the first thing he reached?
