This is a little OT, but the eat everyting on your plate rule falls into this category, too--fastest way to train a child for an eating disorder ever. When this happens, the child is being trained to ignore his/her body signals regarding fullness and satiety. A full portion for one person may be too little or too much for another. You can't measure your way through life, you need to learn to listen to your body.

My dh is 37 and was raised this way and he still wont stop eating until it is all gone. He will sit there and say I'm full but keep eating. I say then stop eating and he says I can't there is still food on my plate and I can't waste it. Guess who is at least 150 pounds overweight now.
