title: converting boolean values to string
body: <p>Im trying to standardize data stored in my database. In the sense that I want everything stored as strings. Whats the best way to convert all datatypes into strings in rails?</p>
  
  <p>So if I have something like this in my database:</p>
  
  <pre><code> t.funny = no #(boolean)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if Im converting hundreds of these to strings in a loop, whats the best way to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
