Answers:

Yes, this is quite healthy. Depending on how pedantic you want to be, it can be improved.

All commercial cereals are exposed to high temp and most often high pressure. This denatures the grains completely and they often have sugar added.
Rolled oats (porridge) is a better option.

Canned soups will often have MSG and other additives which should be avoided. Although it takes a bit of work, homemade soup is infinitely better, nutritionally and taste wise.

Jello will have sugar

The dressing may have sugar, rancid vegetable oils and MSG. again you can make your own and know exactly what you eat.

The Popsicle will have loads of sugar

This may sound picky, but as I said, it depends on how pedantic you want to be. The things to avoid, or at least reduce are sugar, food additives/preservatives and oxidised (rancid) foods, that is those exposed to high temps and pressures in the processing.
