Icon7 A little riddle

What is greater than god,
Worse than the devil,
The poor have it,
The rich need it,
And if you eat it, you will die?

This just made my day. I eat, every single day, sometimes even McDonalds! Must mean I'm immortal

A little riddle

Nothing... How do I eat it? I can eat something but how do I "eat" nothing? BC might have a good answer?

Correct. You can not eat, but you can not eat nothing.

You can both chew and swallow without actually ingesting anything but your saliva. That only works until you dehydrate, but then you will die more quickly than if you starve.

Yes, but 'Nothing' isn't a physical thing so you cant eat it.

Ok, I'll play. The poor have nothing? Surely they must have something?
