If she does not have anything going on with her stomach and has been checked out by the vet, this is what I would do.
Give her her food and give her about 15 minutes to eat it at each feeding. If she does not eat or only eats a small amount, pick her food up and try again later. At 17 weeks 3, even 4 times a day is good. Do not give her any people food, and only use her kibble for treats.
This sounds like a battle of wills to me, where she is holding out for people food. She will eat when she gets hungry enough.
While it's not good for them, a puppy that age not eating for 24 hours won't kill them. (Assuming she refuses food a whole day or something)
Watch her weight though, and if she starts looking thin, or starts having diarrhea, lethargy, vomiting up kibble, or anything else out of place, take her to the vet. Also of she refuses her kibble for more then a day, consult a vet. As there could be something else going on.
All that being said it's normal for them to refuse a meal once in a while. Puppies are usually pretty good about eating what they need. Mine have gone a day eating 1/4 of thier daily allotment, and then eat a whole bunch the next day.
