You usually get green poop because of what you have ingested. Green vegetables, foods containing green dyes, foods containing dark purple such as popsicles, gelatin, and Kool-Aid, or vitamins and supplements. You may also be eating foods high in iron content. Check out the following site where I found this information.

It can mean a lot of things... or it can mean nothing.
If you don't have a stomach ache, cramps or any other symptoms, it's usually just caused by eating foods that are green.
Certain foods
Gastroenteritis
Giardia - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)
Intestinal disorder
Normal breast-fed baby
Salmonella - can cause greenish stool (usually diarrhea)
Some cow milk formulas
Starvation stools - usually in children; green watery stool caused by being on a liquid diet for a few days (e.g. if ill)
Swallowed postnasal drip - ie. from an upper respiratory disorder
Some drugs can have side effects, causing green poop as well.

Green poop can also be caused by excess iron in the diet, from dietary supplements, for example. If the body does not absorb all the iron consumed, the iron may stain the poop green, the color of iron (II) salts. Ordinarily, the green color may be masked by the normal brown poop color, but if digestion is thrown off by illness so that bilirubin is less concentrated in the intestine, the green color may become apparent. This can happen when a person is afflicted with diarrhea.
Green poop in sick babies may come from iron in baby formula not being properly absorbed, or by green pigments in bile salts (again, green from iron).

It is determined by the fruit or veggie associated with a comparison. If perhaps you compare a farreneheit to a carrot, the carrot is the better of the two nutritional. But once you compare an avocado to the carrot, then an avocado is better. Both equally the apple and avocado, are fruits.
