There was a study done recently where a group of people were all given a bowl of soup. For some of the group, the bowl was (unbeknownst to them), hooked up to a tube that would keep the bowl continually full.

The results? The group with the 'bottomless' bowls ate about 33% more than the other group. A lot of it really does seem to be a "I see food there, I should eat it" sort of reaction.

So yes, a lot of us will have problems with portion control and you're absolutely right that we need to control it.

I don't care what anybody says, there is no diet where you can "eat all you want" and get thin.
