It's not that the family demanded that the flight be peanut-free. They just wanted to ensure limited exposure. They asked multiple times whether there would be peanuts served on the flight. The airline said no. Then they went and served peanuts. Probably ran out of pretzels or something. Nonetheless the they booked a flight under the understanding that no peanuts would be served because it could potentially affect their health.
I personally can survive without peanuts as snacks. And even if I couldn't, whatever I'd bring my own damn peanuts and snack on them. I don't need the airline to provide them to me or to everyone around me. If I have to choose between a forced landing or having the munchies, I'm taking the munchies.

for the record I dont really care either way, just saying the people with the allergy have to watch out for themselves the rest of society won't do it for them.
