What is It?

[YourNameIsHoly]

When asked this riddle, 80% of kindergarten students got the answer, compared to 17% of Stanford University seniors.

What is greater than God
More evil than the devil
The poor have it
The rich need it
And if you eat it, you'll die?

...HINT: The answer is ONE WORD and seven letters long.
