What Am I

What is more powerful than god, more evil than the devil, 
and if you eat it you will die?
The poor have it and the rich need it, What Am I?
If you wish to ponder and solve this riddle in your own time,
do not read yet the very last line,
and the last line with the answer is next everyone.
The answer to this riddle is obviously Nothing.
