Generally I agree yup. Thing is you can pretty much eat as much as you like of healthy foods so in that scenario portion size is irrelevant.

Portion control is an overused term because it's subjective.  A guy who eats 4-5 slices a pizza a day might consider 2-3 slices portion control, that doesn't make it healthy.  Portion control of fast food, and junk food is not healthy either.  Morbidly obese people don't get that way overeating green vegetables and grilled chicken.  Portion control will reduce ones total caloric intake to help them lose weight, but it may not reduce high blood pressure or high cholesterol.  People need to be aware of the quality of the calories they take in as well as the quantity.
