Problem with Rails app lesson- "Updating Index Page"

To try and put it simply, I'm having a problem where all the information about my statuses is being inserted into the page below the ".status" div. I've included my code below and beneath that the text that is being inserted into the page.

Anyone know why this is happening and how I can remove this text?

<%= @statuses.each do |status| %>
<div class="status">
  <strong><%= status.name %></strong>
  <p><%= status.content %></p>
</div>

<% end %>

"[#Status id: 1, name: "cool_guy", content: "super cool status", created_at: "2013-12-18 21:19:10", updated_at: "2013-12-18 21:19:10"]"

Try using <% @statuses.each do |status| %> instead; <%= %> should be used to output values onto the screen, whilst <% %> should be used for executing code.

I should have suspected it was something as simple as that! Thanks for the help.
