Why Does Poop Have Different Colors?

Poop can be different colors because of the food we eat. Imagine your body is like a paintbox, when you eat red food, it makes your poop look reddish. If you drink green juice, your poop might turn green! Sometimes, if your body is working extra hard, your poop turns yellow or even black.
