Some people who most of their life ate just the common white bread, have hard time with the more healthy choices with seeds. Others just don't like the novelties. But there is a bunch of people who actually want seedy bread, by informed choice. I love seedy breads, but I was raised on them. I don't even touch that square white stuff.
Of course, people with allergies have plausible reason to ask for the plain bread, but they should not call other people's healthy choices an "obsession"...

Same here elnina I grew up with homemade coarse bread with its seeds in it and on it as well a few buns.There is nothing like it for me.I buy my bread from a Polish bakery or from the German store,depending where I am . I must say I truly miss that bread in Bavaria especially after a trip back.It does not taste the same here in Canada.
My husband hates seeds in/on his bread, but I like them other than rye. I've never been a fan of rye. I always buy seedless bread since he doesn't like seeds, EXCEPT I will occasionally buy hamburger buns with sesame seeds because I just love them. A neighbor when I was growing up used to grill hamburgers with worchestershire sauce and sesame seed buns and I thought they were gourmet burgers. They were, compared to my family's plain burgers!
I love the roasted nutty flavor of sesame seeds on rolls and especially bagels, my favorite bagel is a poppy seed with lots of butter.. Rye bread just isn't as good to me without caraway seeds..
While I empathize with your husbands plight, trust me there is no obsession with seeds. When it comes to food allergies, it seems that if it's edible, someone, somewhere is allergic to it. Cow's milk, eggs, nuts, fish, wheat, soy, shellfish are all allergens but are commonly used ingredients in restaurants everywhere.
I just the hope that the day never comes when foods will be banned because a segment of our population are allergic to them. Remember NY city Mayor Bloomberg and his salt bans. It's a little off topic but it still worth mentioning what the moronic mayor did which had no scientific basis.
I never heard about salt BANS. As far as I know there is a city rule requiring many chain eateries to post warnings on menu items that are high in sodium. Not sure what's wrong with that. People should have right to know what they eat - the ingredients and calorie amount.
The rule mandates restaurants with 15 or more locations nationwide to post a salt shaker encased in a black triangle as a warning symbol next to menu items with more than2,300 milligrams of sodium, the daily limit recommended by many nutritionists.
That's a LOT of salt on a plate. Lots of people have no clue what they eat. They should have enough data to make informed decision. I wish every restaurant would post that info. Some send people to look at the website, but who actually is going to do that kind of search in a restaurant, before ordering the food?
Glad that yesterday the judge upheld the NYC rule on restaurant salt warnings.
I am already happy when I see the calories listed on the menu.
