This one (slightly differently worded) is around so often already, I wonder how one can miss it. If one searches for existing threads, that is.

hiThe answer to this variation is anything
Rich people don't need anything,
Poor people don't have anything,
And if you don't eat anything,
you'll die......
But i don't think that rich people don't need anything..... i mean we ALL need a little love.... lol

well like he said he messed up and ment eat instead of it two times in the second to last line therefor that would make the answer food
rich people don't need it
poor people don't have it
and if you don't eat it,
you'll die
what am i= food
no offence but some of you guys and gals need to lay off some of the newbies or guests because you were there once also you act like seniors towards freshman in high school

Anna,
are you sure rich people don't need food? I think he intended only the first "it" to be "eat".
And sorry to everyone who feels I was being impolite by my "senior" behaviour. (I'm quite glad I didn't go through one of these high schools by the way.)
Wait a moment - I am a Senior Riddler!

Better read it again, K1ND3LL. The poorest of the poor have nothing. And if you don't eat nothing - that means you must be eating something, which is hardly fatal!

I believe it was worded this way:
Rich people want me.
Poor people have me.
If you eat me,
you will be me.
Is it NOTHING?

Yes, that is one wording of essentially the same puzzle. Check the links in Aero_guy's and wowbagger's posts to see some of the other versions of it.
