Throw us a bone then.  Give a decent clue, not an answer.
Let's assume there were both men and women among them. 
How about a clue to what they are carrying?

ok they are nomad goat farmers
they are eating their sheep for food, having killed all of them so they dont have any left
and they are carrying the sheep wool that they have fashioned into clothes because they wouldnt be able to carry them if they still had the sheep because the sheep would die from the cold in the night without their wool!!
i win
or they are carrying the guilt of killing their animals, which they couldnt carry if they still had the sheep cuz they wouldn't be dead
i win again

The people are zombies. They're eationg brains as it's something they don't have and what they don't pack is a concsious which they would have if they had brains.

Nomad GOAT farmers don't have any sheep, they have Goats.
Furthermore, there are no sheep in the desert.
And further furthermore, zombies can't speak, so it wasn't them (us) neither.

Okay, well, here's some clue: they (whoever they are) are transporting women. But what kind of women?

Two possible answers to this one that I came up with:
#1: They could have been watch salesman who were eating time; if time didn't exist (if they didn't have what they are eating) then they couldn't carry what they were carrying (selling): watches.
#2: They were women, who were pregnant and eating the men? That's a very vague area of the riddle but I'm sure this means they're women who are pregnant and eating their husbands: What they're eating they don't have (till death do us part), and if they had what they were eating they couldn't carry what they were carrying (children). Starvation hinders your ability to carry a child.
#2a: Change eating their husbands to eating blood pudding, because if they had what they were eating then they couldn't have children because they were, um, menstruating.
But seriously, more people should have some type of spacer in their sigs to show it's not part of the post. |

The clue gave it to me, I think.
Eunuchs carrying harem girls and eating nuts. (Play on the word "nuts"). Couldn't carry because they wouldn't be allowed to.

These were real people. And it could have happened. Ofc there's semantics involved.
Real people eating real stuff and transporting something.
They are ghosts.
They are eating guilt / regrets. In so doing, they are no longer carrying the guilt / regrets.
And he couldn't tell they are ghosts because he is blind.
Do I get a cookie?
Good riddle!

Originally by: CryoHead
A blind man is walking in the desert when he suddenly hears that people are eating. He moves closer and turns to them:
- Who are you, what are you eating and what are you carrying?
The answer comes:
- What we are eating we don't have because if we had what we are eating we couldn't carry what we are carrying.
The blind man nodded and went on his merry way.
So the question is:
- who were they?
- what were they eating?
- what were they carrying?
there are no men, no foods and likewise there is nothing to be carried
all is but one, non-dual, pure intelligence
