Some people are just plain stubborn. Here you are, trying to feed them, and, even though you can hear their stomachs growling, they claim they're not hungry! Rejecting the sociability of a meal!
Just because they're prisoners!
They might even suggest that you, Affably Evil in its purest form, poisoned or drugged the food. Other forms of rejection of comforts in captivity are possible: a nicer cell (or The Presidential Suite), a clean set of clothing, etc. The villain may enforce the comforts by force or threats.
May be a reaction to Food Interrogation or No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine. Often times results in Polite Villains, Rude Heroes. Sometimes a character who claims I'm Not Hungry may be subjected to Force Feeding.

Dr. No. Having never encountered the No, Mr. Bond, I Expect You to Dine trope before James Bond is rather freaked out by it, but mainly to reassure Honeychile Rider he says they should eat the hot breakfast that's been left for them and take a shower as it's the most practical thing to do at the moment.

In the Ranma ½ movie Big Trouble In Nekonron, China, Akane refuses the hospitality of her kidnappers, first on dignity, and then on the basis that a bowl of rice and a few slices of pickled vegetables is not a real meal. Annoyed at being told to conform, she storms off. Her stomach objects loudly afterwards.
In one manga story, Ranma tries to use this excuse to get out of having to eat Akane's cooking. It might have worked better if he hadn't ordered and eaten a meal of real food seconds beforehand... while Akane was right there.

In Monster, Tenma is a bit unreliable about that whole "food" issue anyway, but when he was being held in jail he actively refused to eat for so long that they had to put him on an IV. Which, to be fair, made sense, since he was trying to get in touch with Milch (who he knew would be in the infirmary).

Rosa Ushiromiya tries to do this in Umineko: When They Cry, after the second arc. Beato is really just amused, though, and has the goats just keep shoving the food down her throat. She has a very good reason for not being hungry, though. The entire meal is just an excuse for Beato to implement some Cold-Blooded Torture by forcing her to eat food made from the remains of her siblings and daughter.

Played with in The Mother. The title character is hiding out in Alaska from the men wanting to kill her and refuses to let her daughter Zoe return to her foster parents until she learns some basic survival skills, like hunting. Zoe is shocked when her mother points out a stag and then, while Zoe is gushing over the sight, shoots it dead on the spot. That night Zoe refuses to eat.

A Discussed Trope in "Dead Reckoning". John Reese refuses to eat with his captor, who has him strapped into a bomb vest. She says that it's his way of keeping a sense of control by refusing to cooperate in small ways. She points out that Reese's fellow captor is eating (he's been Strapped to a Bomb for quite some time now), so Reese will also come to accept the hopelessness of his situation.

The Arabian Nights tale "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves" involves a variant: a visitor informs the host that he can't eat anything with salt in it. Because "sharing salt" is a culture-specific form of Tastes Like Friendship, this is a clue that he's secretly a villain.

Jeremy from A Cruel God Reigns. As a result of his stepfather's physical and sexual abuse, Jeremy hardly eats anything, even when he is at boarding school during the week. Every time the family is eating a meal or he is seen eating with his roommates at school they comment that he needs to eat more, or asks if he's sick because he's picking at what little food he has on his plate. When not brought up directly, the reader is reminded by how sickly skinny Jeremy appears as the story goes on.

In the manga version of Chrono Crusade, Azmaria is kidnapped by the Big Bad Aion and taken to his hideout. While there, she's taken to their dining room and served a meal, but she refuses to eat it—citing her reasons that her hosts are "bad people" and hurt her friends. The response of Shader, one of Aion's followers, is to tell her that she's "a good kid, and honest" but "food isn't evil or good". She then eats it and discovers that it's delicious.

Their hunger strike is deflated when Caputo informs them that the issues they had (that he could take seriously) were being addressed already... only for Sister Ingalls to go on hunger strike demanding better treatment of elderly inmates.

Averted in the Quiller novels. Quiller always eats what's offered, because he knows he'll need the energy to escape or resist torture. However in The Striker Portfolio it's turned back on him; Quiller is surprised to be given caviar and beer but calculates that Tampering with Food and Drink would do no good as they could just drug or poison him by force, and so eats it for the sustenance. Then he goes to get a drink of water and the tap doesn't work. The alcohol and salty caviar were meant to dehydrate him for the water deprivation torture.

At the end of the episode, Commandant Spangler was ready to give in to their demands, but when he went to accede he realized that hunger had driven Francis to near-delirium, and he could not even remember what it was they were asking for. Taking advantage of such a state, he gets Francis to surrender by offering him his "magic hat".

One Piece:
Gin refused to eat the food Sanji had given him after he was kicked out of the Baratie. Sanji then told him that it would be stupid to die from hunger because of foolish pride.
Later, we have the Kid Samurai Momonosuke. He initially refuses to eat the very same Sanji's food, but in this case, it isn't because Sanji and the other Straw Hats are his enemies, but because his samurai pride requires him to take care of himself by preparing his own food.
In the Dressrosa arc, Rebecca vehemently denies ever being hungry, due to the fact that her mother died trying to get food for her when she was a child.
During the Totland arc, Luffy goes on a hunger strike, declaring that he won't eat any food unless it's made by Sanji after the latter had to leave the crew.

Scooby-Doo and Shaggy are renowned eaters (Shaggy once gave the Freudian Excuse that his first toy was a garbage disposal), but whenever they say they're not hungry, it's usually for a good reason. The earliest example is when the ghost of the pirate Redbeard forced them to eat the "ghost pirate stew" they made. Then a hermit invited them to join him in a squirrel stew repast. However, in the movie Scooby-Doo! Frankencreepy, their reason for not being hungry (with shots of pigs flying and Hell freezing over) was due to being under the influence of a hypnotic injection.

In the pilot episode of The Commish, the inmates in the local prison go on hunger strike, so Commissioner Scali stops eating at the same time so he'll know just the right moment when they're really hungry. He then proceeds to negotiate with them while tucking into a large sandwich. The drooling convicts soon fold.

One Spider-Man annual starts with Betty telling the Faux Affably Evil Deathknight exactly where he can stick his "hospitality", calling him a madman as she does so. (Helsing plans to execute her publically to scare the American government in part of his plan to take over Latveria while Dr. Doom is missing, due to the events of Onslaught).

In Suffragette, the imprisoned suffragettes go on hunger strike to enforce being treated as the political prisoners they are. Instead of granting them this little bit of dignity, the government decides to have them force-fed instead.

Sort of a non-villain example. Near the end of Bram Stoker's Dracula, Helsing and Mina are camped out in the mountains by themselves near Dracula's castle. Helsing tries to feed her, but as Mina is currently under Dracula's spell and a half-vampire, she slaps it away growling the line in the process. Then becomes more seductive (thanks to Dracula's three brides nearby manipulating her) before nearly biting into Helsing. Luckily he snaps out of it and manages to take control of the situation.

Person of Interest
A Discussed Trope in "Dead Reckoning". John Reese refuses to eat with his captor, who has him strapped into a bomb vest. She says that it's his way of keeping a sense of control by refusing to cooperate in small ways. She points out that Reese's fellow captor is eating (he's been Strapped to a Bomb for quite some time now), so Reese will also come to accept the hopelessness of his situation.
When Root kidnaps Harold Finch in "The Contingency", Finch refuses to eat or do much talking, unwilling to give her any information about himself whatsoever.

Sorta invoked by Mariko Shinobu in Dear Brother, after the disastrous birthday party where she goes Yandere on Nanako. She says she won't eat until she gets Nanako's forgiveness, but both Kaoru and Nanako give her a What the Hell, Hero? instead. (Previously, her mom Hisako tried to appeal to her unsuccessfully, and had decided to give her a dose of Force Feeding but doesn't get the chance since Mariko passes out and has to be hospitalised.

In Iron Jawed Angels the female suffragists claim this and as a result had metal instruments shoved in their mouths and were force-fed raw eggs through a tube shoved down their throat.

In the "R. Tam Sessions," a tie-in to the Firefly movie Serenity, River destroys her mattress in her room at the Academy because she "doesn't trust it" and is "trying to protect her spine." This is probably a mixture of this trope and a symptom of her growing madness. Or she overheard some stray thought about what they were putting in the mattresses...
