I definitely wouldn't call it a weak reason for them to fight, it's just a comedic one.

The prevalent but never proven theory is that the author Oda, was advised by his editors to put that Zoro vs Luffy fight to create some hype and powerscaling. A point of contention among fans is that it felt out of character for Luffy to immediately attack his most loyal member. But it also fits Luffy's character to be blinded by food. Personally i think the reason for it was weak and just not Oda's best writing, rather than editors pressure,but the fight was a nice moment.
