I don't have a GE card (I do have a Nexus card).
I use my passport in the machine at US entry.

I would say that he has vastly bigger problems traveling internationally with an expired green card. Some airlines might not let him board.
If you are a green card holder using your passport in the GE kiosk, then that is against policy.

The previous poster meant that his green card has expired.

It is also true that I cannot use my passport. Although the CBP sticker is put in there, the machine won't let me in. All in all a very frustrating experience.

We just arrived in Miami and tried to use GE for the first time (we both have Nexus which worked fine coming from Canada). My wife is Canadian and US permanent resident. The kiosk wouldn't work with her Canadian Passport and there didn't seem to be a slot to try her 'green card'. How do you use the kiosk with a green card?

She should go the nearest global entry enrollment office and request a lesson. She should have been given that lesson at the time of her interview.

Customs and immigration requirements for GE members are identical to those of non-members. The process for clearing these requirements is different. The tricky part is when you have something you aren't sure you should declare, since violations can result in getting kicked out...

Both GE members and regular travelers are required to follow the same food requirements. GE members are simply allowed to use their own discretion when classifying the food they carry as permissible, hence the more specific question. CBP does not want regular travelers to make such determinations, so they require disclosure of all food on the 6059B.

Yes, but once the regular traveler declares those items that a GE member would not have to declare, the CBP officer will tell the regular traveler that those items are permitted.

Green card holder conditionally approved
My wife is a green card holder and she was conditionally approved (and me too) and we are awaiting the interview to finalize it hopefully without too much trouble. I will post how the interview went and whether the green card holder interview was different from my interview as I am an American citizen. I hope we can do the interview together even though we are not able to schedule it together as the GOES site only allow one applicant per appointment time slot.
